The Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) is welcoming a new expansion team to its ranks, and it's none other than an Arizona-based squad setting up shop in the Peoria Sports Complex. Known for its baseball fame as the Spring Training grounds for the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners, the complex is set to transition into a soccer venue after the Arizona Cactus League wraps up, according to a news release from the City of Peoria.
The new team has found its home in the West Valley, tapping into Phoenix's large market, which has lacked a major league women's soccer presence. The team will prioritize Arizona-based players to support local talent. Fans can vote for the team's name at ArizonaWomensSoccer.com. Additionally, a $99 season ticket includes a complimentary official team jersey, as detailed by the City of Peoria.
Peoria Sports Complex isn't solely about the sport. Its locale in the P83 District means fans can indulge in a variety of restaurants, shopping opportunities, and family-friendly activities. This makes it a vibrant destination for those looking to spend an entire day out before supporting the new team, as per the City of Peoria announcement.
The excitement for the 2025 WPSL season, starting in May 2025, is palpable as the West Valley anticipates the release of the team’s schedule in the upcoming spring. Anyone looking to get involved with the team, whether as a player or a supporter, should head over to ArizonaWomensSoccer.com for more details.
