With the first official match for expansion side San Diego Wave FC already scheduled, the team continue to finalize their inaugural roster. San Diego Wave announced today they have officially signed forward, and Rutgers University standout, Amirah Ali.
Ali was drafted by the Portland Thorns in the third round of the 2021 NWSL Draft. Her playing rights were acquired by San Diego, via trade, shortly after the 2022 Expansion Draft, and now she has put pen to paper and can officially join the squad ahead of their inaugural NWSL campaign.
