washington, d.c., usa - Washington Spirit makes history by signing Sofia Cantore, the first Italian international player in NWSL history, from Serie A's Juventus. Cantore's impressive track record and experience are set to boost the Spirit's attack.

Washington Spirit Signs Italian Star Sofia Cantore from Juventus

The Washington Spirit has made a groundbreaking move by acquiring forward Sofia Cantore from Serie A powerhouse Juventus. This transfer marks a significant moment in NWSL history as Cantore becomes the first Italian international player to join the league.

Cantore's Transfer and Contract Details

Sofia Cantore will officially join the Spirit once the NWSL transfer window opens on July 1. She has signed a contract with Washington through the 2027 season, with a team option for 2028.

Impressive Track Record

At just 25 years old, Cantore has already made a name for herself in the world of women's soccer. With five goals in 37 appearances for Italy's senior team and standout performances at both the club and international levels, Cantore brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Spirit.

During her time at Juventus, Cantore scored 11 goals in the previous season, contributing significantly to the team's success in securing league and cup trophies. She also showcased her abilities on the European stage, scoring two goals in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Transition at Washington Spirit

Cantore's arrival comes at a time of transition for the Washington Spirit, with head coach Jonatan Giráldez departing to lead French champions OL Lyonnes. Adrián González, who previously served as interim coach, will take over as head coach, aiming to guide the team to further success.

Despite facing challenges such as injuries to key players like Trinity Rodman, the Spirit remain determined to compete at the highest level. Cantore's addition is expected to strengthen the team's attacking prowess and boost their chances of contending for championships in the upcoming seasons.

Historical Context

Not since 2010 has an Italian player featured in a U.S. women's professional league, highlighting the significance of Cantore's move to the NWSL. Her presence is not only a testament to her individual skill but also a symbol of the league's growing international appeal and competitiveness.
