From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

This is a list of foreign players in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). The following players:

  1. Have played at least one NWSL regular season game. Players who were signed by NWSL clubs but did not play in any competitive games, or played only in playoff, cup, friendly, or 2020 NWSL Fall Series matches are not included.
  2. Are not eligible to play for the United States women's national soccer team.
More specifically,
  • If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used. If they have been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. These include American players with dual citizenship.
  • If a player has not been capped on international level, their country of birth is used, except for those who were born abroad to American parents or moved to the United States at a young age, and who also clearly indicated to have switched their nationality to another nation.

As of May 2025, players in the NWSL have represented 54 foreign national teams.

Players listed in bold are currently signed to an NWSL roster.
