North Carolina Courage will be seeking to improve their fifth-place finish in 2024 as the new National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season looms on the horizon.
The club was formed in 2017 after the official rebranding and relocation of Western New York Flash. Just one season after its inception, North Carolina Courage became the first team to win the NWSL Shield and Championship in the same season.
The Courage tallied 39 points across the duration of the 2024 home and away season, winning 12 games, losing 11, and drawing 3. The side fell out of the NWSL playoffs after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Kansas City Current in the opening round of the knockouts.
North Carolina Courage will commence the new season on March 15 when they travel to Lynn Family Stadium to take on Racing Louisville. They will play their first home game of the season on March 22 when the side host Seattle Reign at First Horizon Stadium in WakeMed Soccer Park.
Mark your calendars! The 2024 schedule just dropped 🗓️
