To The Rise Players on Their First Day

Sending a message of our love and appreciate to The Rise players on their first day.

As you come together and step onto the pitch for the first of many times, we add our voices to the growing support that will carry this team through the months and years ahead.

We have been fighting for professional women’s soccer for years, some of us for decades. Many of us were players before we were supporters, fans before we became diehards. We take time from our daily lives to watch games, travel across cities and countries, and show up for this sport because we believe in it.

Today and every day, we are here for this team, on and off the pitch, in the stands, in the community, and in the fight to grow the game for the future

Stronger by Nature, we’re ready to rise together.
