Gotham FC Bolsters Roster with Four USWNT Stars, Embraces 'Superteam' Label

The reigning NWSL champions add Crystal Dunn, Rose Lavelle, Emily Sonnett and Tierna Davidson to their lineup, raising expectations and attention for the upcoming season.

Gotham FC, the reigning champions of the National Women’s Soccer League, have added four star players to their roster: Crystal Dunn, Rose Lavelle, Emily Sonnett and Tierna Davidson, all members of the U.S. Women’s National Team.
The new signings join an already strong roster featuring standouts Lynn Williams, Kelley O’Hara, Midge Purce and Jenna Nighswonger, making Gotham FC a 'superteam' in the NWSL.
General manager Yael Averbuch has expressed that the team welcomes the high expectations and attention that come with their loaded lineup, stating 'We want that target on our back.'
Despite the 'superteam' label, the players emphasize that success is not guaranteed and they still need to put in the work on the field.
The signings are seen as a significant opportunity to raise the profile of the club and attract more fans, with the 2024 season set to open on March 15.
