NWSL commissioner Lisa Baird summed up a crowded day of league news simply during her first news conference of the year on Tuesday: “There’s always a lot happening in the world of women’s soccer.”
On the eve of the 2021 NWSL draft, the Kansas City NWSL team announced its logo, a top NCAA talent committed to an overseas team and Baird shared major news about the upcoming season.
The draft takes place at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Twitch, and Baird said the schedule for the NWSL season will be released in the “coming days.”
It’s a big step for the league.
