The National Women's Soccer League has made a huge stride. The NWSL has reached it's fifth season. In the United States, where the NWSL is based with 10 clubs, there has never been a successful women's soccer league that made it this far. The Women's Professional Soccer League (WPSL) only made it to three seasons. Now, the NWSL has increased in popularity. The league has made a name for themselves and proved that with two major new deals. A+E Networks and Lifetime TV partnered up with the NWSL to regularly broadcast matches this season. In addition, the network will give the NWSL a pre-game show. Also, go90 has agreed to live-stream 98 matches for the NWSL, which will be available on an iOS and Android application. The league is also growing with the players that are joining. Last week, it was reported that Marta, a legend of the Brazilian Women's National Team, will be joining the Orlando Pride. Even more, popular players like Christine Sinclair (Portland Thorns), Ali Krieger (Orlando Pride), Rose Lavelle (Boston Breakers) and Kelley O'Hara (Sky Blue FC) are on NWSL rosters. In the summer, Alex Morgan will return from Lyon in France to the Orlando Pride and Carli Lloyd will return to the Houston Dash after a stint with the Manchester City Women's Team. Even more, the NWSL is gaining more traction with a brand new website, which is more pristine and clean. The NWSL is working it's way up the ladder in popularity, with the following trending on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. The NWSL has a long way to go to reach the level of Major League Soccer, the men's league in the United States. However, they're on the right path, and will reach it sooner than expected.
