On Sunday, March 2 at 6 p.m., Riverfront Stadium in Tampa will host a groundbreaking matchup between two of the top women’s professional soccer teams: Gotham FC, the 2023 champions of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), and the newly-formed Tampa Bay Sun FC from the USL Super League. This historic game marks the first-ever encounter between teams from these two powerful leagues, both of which are instrumental in the evolution of women’s soccer.
The Matchup: Two Powerhouses Collide
This historic game is much more than just a friendly competition—it’s a symbol of the growth and rising prestige of women’s professional soccer in the U.S. Gotham FC, which represents the NWSL, brings a wealth of experience, with several top players, including gold-medal-winning Team USA athletes such as Rose Lavelle, Tierna Davidson, and Emily Sonnett. On the other side, Tampa Bay Sun FC, a fresh force from the emerging USL Super League, will counter with three of the league’s top goal-scorers: Carlee Giammona, Cecilie Fløe Nielsen, and Natasha Flint.
