Alex Loera Joins Bay FC as First Player

Trade with Kansas City Current brings Loera to the new NWSL expansion team.

Alex Loera, a defensive midfielder, has become the first player for Bay FC, the National Women's Soccer League expansion team set to begin play next season in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Loera was acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Current in exchange for $175,000 in allocation money and protection from Bay FC in the 2024 expansion draft.
In her rookie season with the Current last year, Loera scored the fastest goal in the league's playoff history.
Bay FC was co-founded by former women's national team players Brandi Chastain, Aly Wagner, Danielle Slaton and Leslie Osborne.
The addition of Bay FC and the Utah Royals next season will bring the league to 14 teams for the 2024 season.
