As the NWSL is in the midst of its 10th season, a group of former players has emerged with a goal of taking the league to new heights. Or, at least, adding a new team into the mix.
Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne, Danielle Slaton and Aly Wagner are heading a Bay Area expansion group, with an aim of leveraging their extensive playing experiences toward shaping the future of the league.
“We are very quickly realizing that athletes’ voices aren’t just nice to have, it’s essential for success,” Slaton said, per Meg Linehan of The Athletic.
