A new women’s professional soccer league is coming next year

We’re a year away from the start of the highly anticipated Women’s Professional Soccer League, the successor to the failed Women’s United Soccer Association. In April 2009, the new league will kick off and relaunch nationwide worldwide interest on women’s soccer.

The new league will have, for now, seven teams scattered across the country: Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, St. Louis and Washington, D.C. They’re hoping to have one more team in the San Francisco area, so the regular season will add up about 20 games, not counting a special all-star game.

The teams are still lining up staff and coaches, and there aren’t any players yet. Still, according to Commissioner Antonucci, things are starting to roll out quickly, and “by early summer all teams will have their names, logos and colors done.” After that come the players. The WPS is hoping to lure some of the world’s best, like Germany’s Birgit Prinz and Brazil’s Marta.
