The 1991
U.S. Women's National Team created the standard for
women's soccer throughout the world, playing in a
relentless all-out attacking style. These players
and their coaches built the foundation that ultimately
changed the face of the game.
The power
of their game and their collective personality caused
Women's Soccer to be added to the roster of the Olympic
Sports in 1996, World Cup, and fostered the founding
of the first women's professional soccer league in
the United States, the WomenÍs United Soccer Association
(WUSA) in 2001. |
