National Women’s Soccer League sees key players retire

On Nov. 11, the Orlando Pride and the Washington Spirit went head to head for the 2024 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Championship. The two teams met in Kansas City at Canadian Pacific Kansas City Stadium, each looking for another season title.
