Chattanooga is getting a new premier level women’s soccer team. Chattanooga FC announced the upcoming season for the Chattanooga FC Women’s team, set to kickoff at home on Sunday, May 18, at Finley Stadium.
Officials said, "The squad of 30 young women has been set, featuring a mix of local and international players. Youth, talent and experience define the team, with players in high school and college, along with college graduates. Coached by Chattanooga's Patrick Winecoff, training for the season is now in full swing."
"Be sure to come support the Chattanooga FC Women, as they begin their first season in the WPSL! It is sure to be exciting, and great news for the city and soccer community as a whole.
