Women’s soccer continues to rise in prominence across the U.S., and this year promises a monumental event to showcase the sport’s explosive growth. 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

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.
