The Orlando Pride announced this afternoon that the team is withdrawing from the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup after multiple players and staff have tested positive for COVID-19. The league sent out a press release stating that six players and four staff members had tested positive. The NWSL reported its first positive test for COVID-19 just four days ago but did not name the player or the team.
The Pride were supposed to begin the Challenge Cup on Saturday night against the Chicago Red Stars at Zion Bank Stadium in Utah.
