Women's United Soccer Association


The WUSA is the world's premier women's professional soccer league. In the 2001 inaugural season, the eight-team league featured the best players from the 1999 U.S. World Cup Championship Team and top-flight international players.

Their victory in 1999, helped boost women's soccer in the U.S. and around the world as well as increase the WUSA's popularity through the 2003 FIFA World Cup, where the U.S. Women's National team finished second to Germany who took the first place victory. Over 40 U.S. and international WUSA players participated in this event.

Unfortunately, the financial backing did not continue to support the League after the WUSA's third season and the announcement was made on September 15, 2003 that the League was suspending its operations immediately. A group of former League officers joined with the Player's Association to revive the WUSA in 2004 and beyond.
