The Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) was founded in 2000 as the world's first women's soccer league. Its first season was held in 2001, with 8 teams around the United States. WUSA discontinued on September 15, 2003.
Women's Professional Soccer[]
2008–2012[]
After a 4-year hiatus, a second women's soccer league was formed in 2007, and in 2008 formed the new name, Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). With the first season held in 2009, there were 7 leagues during that time, which were shortened to 6 during the 2011 season. The league then shut down again in 2012. Note: this was the only league to have a fourth color on the logo, alongside the usual All-American colors (red, white, and blue). In this case, a beige color was also used.
