This week on Game Changers, I’m joined by Piedmont women’s soccer player Paige Kluba to break down Japan’s historic victory over the U.S. in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup—claiming their first championship and snapping the USA’s 23-game winning streak. We also dive into the NWSL’s newest expansion teams, the return of the Challenge Cup, and the big question: where should the league go next? Is Atlanta the perfect market for an NWSL club? (Spoiler: we think so!) Plus, for the first time ever, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will feature a halftime show. Paige and I share our dream performers for what could be a huge step in making soccer even bigger on the global stage.
