Women's Soccer in Colorado

Why Colorado is the world capital of women's soccer

In 2023, women’s soccer announced itself as the fastest growing major sport in the world. Over 2 billion people tuned in to watch the tournament, up from 1.12 billion in 2019. And although we didn’t defend our title, the United States are currently ranked #1 in the world and have been the most dominant force in the women's game since the first Women’s World Cup in 1991.

No state produces more elite talent for their roster per capita than Colorado. Three of the USWNT's eleven starters grew up playing soccer right here — including the captain, Lindsey Heaps, and two of the leading goal scorers, Sophia Wilson and Mallory Swanson.

The girls soccer pyramid is a maze.

Pay-to-play is out of control.

Good players are quitting.
