Fort Lauderdale United FC, South Florida’s first professional women’s soccer team, has just begun its inaugural season as part of the USL Super League. The league itself is also brand new, featuring eight teams from around the country competing at the highest level of soccer, similar to the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).
The team took over the Miami Dolphins former training facility at Nova Southeastern University. It’s now home to Fort Lauderdale United’s headquarters, complete with brand-new locker rooms, practice fields, film rooms, and a freshly renovated 7,000-seat stadium.
It’s only a matter of time before all major cities have franchises in various women’s sports, and Fort Lauderdale United is ensuring South Florida isn’t left behind.
