NWSL soccer is returning with another edition of the NWSL Challenge Cup this month. While the tournament was created out of necessity last season in order to have a “bubble competition” during the pandemic, it seems that the league has decided that it was so much fun that it might become a regular pre-season tournament. This means more NWSL and, more importantly for us, more Chicago Red Stars. So let’s look forward at what this tournament will have in store for Red Stars fans.

It is an exciting time and one of growth for the league.
