Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji
Friday’s National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) expansion draft featuring the Utah Royals and Bay FC is rapidly approaching, but fans of a number of teams can sleep soundly knowing that their favorite players are safe.
More Details
Portland, Kansas City, Angel City, Houston, Orlando, Washington, and Gotham FC all have traded for full expansion draft protection.
San Diego, North Carolina, and Louisville all have protection from one team, though they still could have two players selected in the draft.
Only Chicago and OL Reign will have players vulnerable to both expansion sides.
In a flurry of activity on Tuesday, trades were announced sending draft picks, players, and allocation money across the country.
Utah received Kate Del Fava (Kansas City Current), Cameron Tucker (Houston Dash), Hannah Betfort (Portland Thorns), Mandy Haught (Gotham FC), Carly Nelson (OL.Reign), as well as other assets.
Bay FC received Emily Menges (Portland Thorn), Joelle Anderson (Houston Dash), Scarlett Camberos (LA), Ellie Jean (Gotham FC), and Dorian Bailey (Washington Spirit), plus other assets.
Meanwhile…
Bay FC announced a number of football operations hiring, ranging from technical director to data analytics.

Three NWSL teams are still without head coaches: Washington, Houston and Chicago.
