Racing Louisville FC is an amateur women's soccer team that plays in the USL W League. It is affiliated and shares ownership with the eponymous professional team Racing Louisville FC, which competes in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
History[edit]
In January 2022, NWSL club Racing Louisville added an amateur team to compete in the newly formed W League,[1] becoming the first NWSL club to do so. This followed the club's academy opening in 2020 and completed its developmental pathway from youth soccer to top-division professional play.[2] The club hired an all-female technical staff to lead the team, with Kincaid Schmidt as its inaugural head coach and former NWSL player Libby Stout as assistant coach.[3]
Stadium[edit]
Racing Louisville FC has played its USL W League matches at the Lynn Family Sports Vision & Training Center,[4] which also serves as the parent club's training facility,[5] since its inception.[1]
Players[edit]
Most of Racing's W League squad are drawn from colleges and Racing's youth academy.[6] The professional Racing Louisville club has signed players from its W League club, including Isabella Beletic[7] and Allison Whitfield[8] in 2022. Racing Academy and W League player Ella Sanchez was a non-roster invitee to the professional team's 2023 preseason.[9] Racing's Emily Madril was one of 19 W League players to sign a professional contract, with Orlando Pride, after the league's inaugural season.[10]
