lindagray 0 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The National Women's Soccer League currently has nine clubs. Former commissioner Jeff Plush announced that the league planned to expand to 14 teams by 2020. At the time, Plush suggested that the league was in varying stages of talks with a dozen different potential expansion groups, including some from MLS organizations. In April 2016, MLS (Major League Soccer) commissioner Don Garber stated that half of MLS teams could be running National Women's Soccer League teams in the near future. In May 2017, FC Barcelona announced that it had approved a plan to launch an expansion team in the league as soon as 2018, but those plans have yet to materialize.
