The summer of 2025 is set to bring plenty of excitement for passionate soccer fans. There’s a lot lined up on the international stage, especially in the United States, as the country gears up to host the inaugural expanded edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled from June 14 to July 13, 2025. While the tournament is expected to capture national attention, it will also likely disrupt the domestic calendar, giving NWSL teams an extended break. And from the looks of it, Racing Louisville already seems to have mapped out its plans for how it will utilize the break.
Well, it’s not only because the NWSL is taking a break due to the nation’s international commitments. Do you know the NWSL x Liga MX Summer Cup? Well, apparently, rumor has it that the competition won’t be making a return this year, even though it was just last season it made its debut. This comes from the mouth of renowned journalist and ESPN contributor Jeff Kassouf.
Given that all these circumstances leave the 14 NWSL teams with plenty of time in July, Jeff reported that Racing Louisville is allegedly heading to Brazil. On what occasion, you ask? Well, to participate in The Women’s Cup — an annual women’s soccer domestic friendly tournament that was launched by Louisville in 2022.
