Gotham FC Becomes The First NWSL Team to Visit The White House For A Championship Celebration

Gotham FC is set to make history on Monday, September 23rd, as the first NWSL team to be honored at the White House for their 2023 championship victory.

The ceremony will feature Gotham players, staff, ownership, NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman, and President Joe Biden.

Gotham’s triumph in the 2023 NWSL Championship was a remarkable achievement, all the more impressive given the team’s turnaround from finishing last just a year prior.

Goals from Lynn Williams and Esther and a nervy 2 minutes as goalkeeper for defender Nealy Martin secured Gotham's first-ever trophy in the NWSL, a testament to the team’s resilience and growth. Gotham FC’s upcoming visit to the White House not only celebrates their championship but also highlights the NWSL's growth, which just hit a milestone of 1.5 million fans in attendance.
