The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) is set to kick off its 12th season with new teams and record signings. The Kansas City Current will make history by hosting a game at the first U.S. stadium built for a women's professional sports team. Predictions suggest repeat contenders like Gotham FC and San Diego Wave could clash again. Bay FC in the Bay Area debuts this weekend with a strong foundation for success. The league's expansion team, Bay FC, was formed with a $125 million investment and features high-profile signings like Jen Beattie and Asisat Oshoala. Sponsorships from Ally and CarMax, as well as a new $240 million media rights deal, highlight the growing support for women's soccer.
