Former Canadian women’s national team player Desiree Scott is bringing a new pro women’s soccer franchise to Winnipeg through an expansion with the Norther Super League (NSL). Multiple reports say Scott co-founds the Winnipeg club as the league’s seventh franchise and describes it as the NSL’s first expansion team. The initiative is positioned as an effort to establish top-level women’s soccer in Winnipeg and add to the league’s existing lineup.
The Winnipeg club’s announcement credits Scott’s background as an international player and notes her role in founding the organization. While details on timelines, coaching staff, and match schedule are not provided in the included excerpts, the coverage is consistent on the core points: Scott is behind the new Winnipeg franchise, it joins the NSL as the league’s seventh team, and it is the NSL’s first expansion franchise. The reporting frames the move as a significant local step for women’s professional soccer in Winnipeg.
