NWSLPA Issues Statement Condemning Attacks on Players:

In addition to any moral or competitive arguments,

1. This is a fake problem. There aren't any trans women in NWSL. There aren't any trans women in the immediate pipeline that I'm aware of.

2. Using Banda for the cover photo here is obviously just extremely racist.

Despite what anyone may write in the New York Post, trans people belong everywhere, including the NWSL.

In response to Elizabeth Eddy's essay in the New York Post, it's a good time to remind y'all that Chicago stands firmly in the belief that Trans People Belong. We will not stand for bigotry or transphobia. We love and support our trans family always. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

As NWSL supporters associations representing thousands of fans across the country, we invite the NWSL and its fans to join us in taking a vocal and visible stand in support of the transgender community and against all gender-based harassment. Women’s soccer exists because society refused to accept exclusion. Our game was built through generations of struggle—for gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Efforts to exclude trans athletes are fueled by the same forces of misogyny and bigotry that have long tried to dictate who belongs. These efforts undermine the spirit of women’s sports and harm all athletes by reinforcing narrow, discriminatory ideas about gender.

From the field to the stands, the LGBTQ+ community has always been a vital and visible part of the NWSL, and for many of us, women's sport is a safe haven—a place where we have found community and belonging while being our full selves. Come to an NWSL game, and you will see not just athleticism and competition, but joy and togetherness. Our league, where queer and trans kids can see themselves reflected on the field and in the stands, is proof that welcoming everyone makes us all safer.

Now, as the trans community faces escalating attacks driven by harmful legislation and damaging public rhetoric, we must continue that fight by standing firmly and vocally, together, for inclusion in sports. It is on all of us to ensure that every match, every event, and every space under the league’s banner remains safe, inclusive, and free from hate—for everyone. Silence is not neutrality. Speaking out matters. Showing your support for trans athletes, and trans people, matters. Let’s work together to ensure women’s soccer continues to be a space of inclusion, safety, and joy for all.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.

In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.
No exceptions. 💚🖤

#TransPeopleBelong

They want all the African players out of the league because they're racist. And when that's done, they'll go after the rest of the Black players. Because they're all fucking racist.

Eddy has a new teammate who is Black and from Zambia, who is open about being intersex (assigned female at birth/not trans) and people thinking she's male because of what she wears.

Between that and them sharing the bench/competing for minutes, hard not to see this as a very mean personal attack.

National Women’s Soccer League must adopt gender standards to keep growing Recent controversies across women’s sports — from swimming to track and field — have highlighted professional soccer lacks clear eligibility policies, unlike a growing number of other competitions.…

Earlier this season, a report from The Guardian found that the NWSL quietly dropped their Trans inclusion policy during the transition to Berman’s leadership.

Eddy is the first player to go public in favor of the league “adopting gender standards.”

Okay, so @bostonisa.bsky.social I expect a revamp of this song for the first @bostonlegacyfc.com home match.

Announcing our front of kit partner, TJ Maxx

Boston Legacy season tickets are among the most expensive in the NWSL. While there are other teams that have comparable or more expensive prices (mostly premium seating), Boston tops the list for most expensive supporter group STM.

*Reign & KC prices are from 2025

“In celebration of this inaugural team-up, Boston Legacy FC & TJ Maxx will make a donation to Dream Big!, a Boston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers girls and young women from economically disadvantaged communities to achieve their dreams by unlocking access to sports.”

STATEMENT FROM THE NWSL We are saddened to learn of the passing of Matt Beard. Matt was a respected coach whose impact on the game was felt on both sides of the Atlantic, including during his time leading the Boston Breakers. Our condolences are with his family, friends, and colleagues.

A statement from the NWSL.

We join the soccer community in mourning the loss of Matt Beard. His impact on the city of Boston and the game will not be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family right now.

First @bostonlegacyfc.com chant with Coach Patão ✅

BREAKING: The Boston Legacy has acquired Barbara Olivieri from the Houston Dash.

The midfielder will be on loan to Tigres UANL in Liga MX Femenil through the end of 2025 before joining the Legacy for preseason next year.

Big takeaways from this signing: First NWSL transfer signing, second signing loaned to Liga MX Femenil, signed until 2029 (which I believe makes her the longest contracted player for Boston). #NWSL #BostonLegacyFC

Barbara Olivieri - Boston Legacy FC, NWSL

🚨 New Signing Alert 🚨

Barbara Olivieri is officially joining the Legacy in 2026.

Boston Legacy FC has signed Barbara Olivieri through the end of 2029. She will go on loan to Club Tigres UANL for the remainder of 2025, and will join Boston Legacy FC in January ahead of the 2026 NWSL preseason

jessica berman doesn’t deserve the league and its players. she made a name for herself by being slightly better than lisa baird – primarily by not getting in the way of the nwslpa. now that she has clout and notoriety, and feels important, she’s consistently made choices that prioritize her ego.

The National Soccer Hall of Fame today released the names of the finalists for election to the Class of 2026, including 20 on the Player ballot, 10 on the Veteran ballot and four on the Builder ballot.
