Mitts is aiming to get a team into the new USL Super League, which intends to launch next year. Philadelphia won't be ready by then but hopes to be for a later round of expansion.
Former U.S. women’s soccer team and longtime Philadelphia-area stalwart Heather Mitts is leading a group that is starting a push to bring professional women’s soccer back to the region.
A Super League spokesperson told The Inquirer that “we are in discussion with Heather Mitts and her group about their plans to bring professional women’s soccer to Philadelphia, and we are very supportive of their efforts.” “In an ideal world, we would love to play on grass, and I know that limits us a lot,” Mitts said. “But I think you always have to plan for grass. And then as an Option B, we see a lot of great turf fields nowadays.”The Union certainly are open to hosting a pro women’s team at Subaru Park, no matter the league, and are building space in their forthcoming new training facility that such a team could use.
The Super League plans to launch next August, becoming the first major U.S. pro league to have a European-style, fall-to-spring schedule instead of a summer-centric one. That means there’s 10 months — probably fewer, all things considered — for U.S. Soccer’s decision.
