With the scheduled draw for the Select World Cup quickly approaching us (September 15), we are still a long way off from having full squads in order to proceed forward with the Cup. Right now, as of this article we are at 60 total sign ups, but we need much more. Mexico, USA and England are our teams best off but still short of the full squad numbers.
So, what does this mean?
First, if we do not have enough full teams for the tournament than one option will be to postpone it until springtime. If we do that it'll have to be before our club league play begins. This would give us more time to find more players that perhaps the FIFA World Cup in Qatar will inspire to participate.
Second option would be to postpone the tournament until it coincides with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. If we did this, we could keep recruiting players and have full teams compete in friendlies leading up to the tournament. We would then shift gears to our club league play and organizing a Women's Select World Cup tournament to coincide with FIFA's.
The third and final option, would be to postpone it indefinitely and only focus on the club league play. This is not the most desirous option but perhaps it's the way to go.
Regardless, we're at the final hour and if you have been interested in playing in an 11 v 11 outdoor World Cup style tournament, please go to our Sign-Up page and register to participate. We need players, coaches and volunteers!
