The NWSL Players Association announced its new leaders, naming 18 players to its board of representatives for the 2020 season.
The players association represents all players in the league who are not allocated by their respective national teams. This excludes all U.S. and Canadian national team players named to the 2020 allocation lists.
The NWSL Players Association board will represent players during a critical year for the league. Women’s soccer saw a major boom in support following the success of the 2019 FIFA World Cup and it translated into record-setting spike in attendance during the latter half of the NWSL season.
