Washington Spirit Tickets

The Washington Spirit is the name of the women's professional soccer club that competes in the top-tier

National Women's Soccer League

. The club was founded in 2011 and named D.C. United Women's club. Initially, the team competed in the defunct W-League, which was later named NWSL. There are also amateur and youth clubs for upcoming female athletes that compete under the banner of the Washington Spirit. Despite its fame as one of the top women's soccer clubs in America, the Washington Spirit team has had many ups and downs throughout its short history. The initial seasons didn't prove successful as the Spirits were quickly toppled in the playoffs. However, changes in 2015 and subsequent seasons led to regular success. Perhaps, these successful campaigns were the reason that many of the team's top players were traded to other local and international teams. Unable to cope with the loss, the management quickly signed up high-profile players including Mallory Pugh to streamline performances in the coming years.
