Philadelphia Freedom

The defending champs return for year two in the women’s division with a roster set to contend all over again. World #3 Olivia Weaver returns, as does 2025 Finals MVP Melissa Alves. In the draft, World #6 Siva Subramaniam fell into the Freedom’s laps, thus forming a lethal big three. The Freedom’s depth pieces, Nicole Bunyan, Olivia Clyne, and Catalina Pelaez all provide experience, relentless hustle, and some attacking flair when needed. This team, when at their best, is an unstoppable force. Sunil Desai and the Freedom have already won an NSL title, but that’s not enough. They want to establish a dynasty.
