USL League Two and the USL W League drive community-centric soccer in America, and @EdgewaterCastle is bringing that spirit to Chicago.
I spoke to club founder Andrew Swanson on their USL move, Kellyn Acosta's involvement, and the mission behind it all.

Per multiple conversations today, the three #NWSL teams came based on the 2024 season, and Concacaf stipulates that a league must be operational for two consecutive years for inclusion, so USL Super League would be eligible starting 2026-27. (Not in 24/25 regs but so I gathered.)
Concacaf announces the 2025/26 W Champions Cup format + dates: The three U.S. representatives will be the top 3 #NWSL teams from 2024: Orlando, Washington, Gotham.
The winner (May 2026) will book a berth in the new annual FIFA continental tourney + first Women's Club World Cup.

ALT PARTICIPATING CLUBS Clubs qualify for the Concacaf W Champions Cup based on the qualification criteria proposed by each Member Association – that meet the Confederation’s eligibility criteria – and approved by the Concacaf Council. For the 2025/26 edition, these six Member Associations and 10 clubs are, in alphabetical order by country: Canada (1): Vancouver Rise Academy Costa Rica (1): LD Alajuelense El Salvador (1): TBC Mexico (3): CF Monterrey Femenil, CF Pachuca Femenil, and Club America Femenil Panama (1): TBC United States (3): NJ/NY Gotham FC, Orlando Pride, and Washington Spirit
