The National Women’s Soccer League will expand to Orlando next season, according to a report today in the Guardian. The franchise would be the 10th in the United States’ women’s professional league and the circuit’s first foray into the U.S. southeast.

The franchise would be a notable addition in what will be a landmark year for the league. NWSL’s two predecessors — Women’s Professional Soccer (2009-2011) and the Women’s United Soccer Association (2001-2003) — failed to reach a fourth season. In contrast, the NWSL is looking to reach the 10-team mark in its fourth campaign.

Neither the NWSL nor the expansion team’s reported owners, Major League Soccer’s Orlando City SC, confirmed the Guardian’s report.

The NWSL began play in 2013 with eight teams, including a franchise in Portland, the Thorns, which was owned by MLS’s Timbers. That model was replicated a year later when the league expanded to Houston and is set to be used again in Florida with Orlando City.

Orlando, having joined Major League Soccer this season, have enjoyed strong support as MLS’s first Florida franchise since 2001. In a statement to the Guardian, the team hinted there would be an announcement in the near-future:

“Considering the massive support for top-caliber soccer in Central Florida, we continue to evaluate all opportunities to bring the highest levels of the sport to the market in the future. We hope to have more information to share in the coming weeks.”

According to NWSL commissioner Jeff Plush, the league will discuss its expansion plans on Oct. 1 in Portland, the site of the league’s championship game. Plush also told the Guardian he would like to have next season’s plans set as soon after the final as possible:

“We’d like to be able to immediately after the final know what 2016 looks like. Our work for 2016 on some level has already started, but it starts in earnest somewhere around midnight of 1 October. That’s certainly our plan but the reality is you’re going to expand when the timing is right, when the people are right, when the geography and stadium are right.”

Orlando City are one of numerous Major League Soccer teams that have been linked with NWSL expansion, including Real Salt Lake and fellow expansion team, New York City FC.

Through home games this season, Orlando have averaged 31,987 attendees per game, the second-highest total in Major League Soccer. Sunday’s game against Sporting Kansas City drew a season-low 22,241, while its season high is 62,510.

The team is playing it inaugural season in the Florida Citrus Bowl but expects to open its own facility next season.
