Who is the best teenager playing in the NWSL? Ranking every player 19 and younger

Former USWNT star Christen Press announces on "Good Morning America" that she will retire from professional soccer at the end of the NWSL season. (1:24)

The floodgates haven't opened entirely to teenage signings in the NWSL, but they are no longer so rare that the mere age of a player turns heads.

The NWSL still lacks a unified academy system, but with the college draft being abolished and combines — including a youth combine to scout talent as young as 13 — age is not holding recruitment back as it did in years past. Now, more teams are increasingly identifying young players who can make a difference — and several already are, in big ways. So we've again ranked every healthy player in the league age 19 and under — including those on inbound and outbound loans (Fridah Mukoma is injured) — to look at who's got next in one of the best leagues in the world.

Gotham FC vs Racing Louisville: How to watch, time, more of final 2025 home game

After a tough but expected loss to the Kansas City Current, NJ/NY Gotham FC will return home and face Racing Louisville FC for the final regular-season match at Sports Illustrated Stadium.  The Bats were in fourth place entering the weekend, but have currently moved into fifth place based on the live standings.  As such, the pressure to win will be immense, not only due to the fact that it is the last home game of the season, but because the team cannot afford to lose.

Any points dropped will see Gotham FC fall down the standings.  After a solid unbeaten streak, they do not want to be in the middle of a winless streak prior to the start of the playoffs.  As it is known, the NJ/NY side was streaky this year, and they really need to enter the postseason in perfect form.  More importantly, they need to score goals, for they have not scored in their last three games in all competitions.
