The USL Super League, a Division 1-sanctioned women’s soccer league that will launch in August, announced its first contracted players on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay Sun FC confirmed the first player signings in league history on Tuesday, all of whom have experience in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), which is the incumbent top flight that the USL Super League hopes to challenge.

Two-time NWSL champion Erika Tymrak, midfielder Jordyn Listro, and midfielder Dominique Richardson will all join Tampa Bay for the league’s launch this summer.
The signings provide tangible progress for a league that launches in four months.
The USL Super League plans to kick off with eight teams in August and run a fall-to-spring schedule, which aligns with many global leagues and runs opposite that of the NWSL.
