"Today is an important day in U.S. women's soccer history with the USL granting voluntary recognition to the USLPA on behalf of the USL Super League players. There has been a clear need for increased opportunities for women professional players in this country for some time. However, it is also imperative that these opportunities are ones which provide players with respect and the ability to self-advocate."
"According to USLPA spokesperson Bri Visalli, a former professional player with the Houston Dash, 97% of eligible players voted for union representation, easily exceeding the simple majority required."
"The USL then voluntarily recognized that the players are represented by the USLPA, which also represents players in the USL Championship and USL League One. This recognition paves the way for foundational improvements in professional women's soccer in the United States."
"Voluntary recognition is an important step towards accomplishing those important goals. The USLPA looks forward to working with the USL in the best interests of all Super League players, and to beginning the collective bargaining process in earnest."
