COLUMN — The National Women’s Soccer League is about to enter its seventh-ever season. That’s a historic number for the league, as no other professional women’s soccer league has lasted in the United States that long.
This year is a particularly special year, too.
The world is experiencing another FIFA Women’s World Cup this summer in France. The league will take a 12-day break from June 3-14 for the tournament. However, the break only covers the first group stage match for all teams and only a handful of the second group stage matches.
Because of that, plenty of players are going to miss league action.
