Orlando Pride has announced its 20-player roster ahead of opening week for the 2017 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season.
For its second campaign in the NWSL, the Pride roster is highlighted by the addition of the newest attacking power, five-time FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year, Marta. The Brazilian goal-scoring force was announced as the newest member of the Pride on Friday, and will join the Pride following the receipt of her International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.
Orlando has also signed its two 2017 NWSL College Draft picks, adding midfielder Nickolette Driesse and forward Danica Evans to the roster.
