Canadians Allysha Chapman, Adriana Leon looking for new club after Boston folds
CHICAGO — The National Women’s Soccer League confirmed Sunday that the Boston Breakers have closed shop.
News of the demise of the franchise, home to Canadian internationals Allysha Chapman and Adriana Leon, first broke Thursday — on Chapman’s 29th birthday.
“Can we remember this day as the day a beautiful human was born (me) and not as the day that finalized the demise of an NWSL franchise?” she said, trying to find light in the situation.
The league says the 2018 season will now feature a nine-team, single-table alignment with a 24-game schedule that will see each club play three games against every team.
