Former United States women's national team star Alex Morgan highlighted the inaugural 2026 FIFA women's Club World Cup as a pivotal moment for NWSL to showcase its strength against global clubs.
Morgan emphasized, 'I wanted to go to France because I wanted to play in Champions League ... playing in the U.S. or North America just doesn't offer that because it is a European tournament.' This clearly points to a gap in competitive opportunities that the Club World Cup aims to fill.
She expressed optimism about the tournament, stating, 'Having the Club World Cup and being able to compete with the best club teams around the world truly levels the playing field.' This focuses on the need for robust international competitions in women's football.
Marta praised the NWSL as the 'best league in the world' after Orlando Pride's achievements this season, indicating a marked improvement and competitiveness, especially in light of the upcoming Club World Cup.
