The NWSL Players Association announced Tuesday morning that the league's players have decided to return to competition starting Wednesday.
This past weekend's games did not take place in the aftermath of a report from The Athletic detailing former players' accusations of sexual coercion against now former North Carolina Courage coach Paul Riley. The league and players agreed to call off the matches before determining next steps, following the revelations brought to light by former players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim.
"We have taken the weekend's pause to evaluate," the NWSLPA said in a statement.
