This year, Bay FC made history both on and off the pitch. Here’s a look back at an unforgettable 2024 NWSL season:
11 Wins: We secured the most regular-season victories ever by an expansion team in NWSL history, including a record-setting six wins on the road. Our resilience and determination shined through in every match, laying the foundation for a bright future.
Sold-Out Home Opener Match: Our inaugural home match against the Houston Dash brought a sold-out crowd of 18,000 fans to PayPal Park, filling the stadium with electric energy. With our loyal supporters, PayPal Park has become one of the hardest stadiums to play in across the NWSL. That night was more than a game—it was a celebration of soccer in the Bay Area and a glimpse of what’s to come.
New Training & Locker Room Facility: With the help of Devcon Construction, Inc., our players now have state-of-the-art facilities at PayPal Park. Built to reflect our bold ambitions, these facilities embody Bay FC’s unwavering commitment to excellence both on and off the pitch for players.
13,000+ Average Attendance: Ranking 4th in the NWSL, we consistently drew one of the league’s largest crowds. Our supporters turned every match into an event, proving the Bay Area is a powerhouse of soccer fandom.
75+ Community Organizations Hosted: Throughout the year, we partnered with over 75 organizations to bring soccer to 5,000 community members. From clinics to matchday experiences, we delivered on our mission to inspire and unite every corner of the Bay Area.
#1 in Merch Sales: Bay FC fans led the league in merchandise sales, proudly showing off their team spirit. Whether it was gear worn in the stands or out on the streets, our colors were everywhere this season.
Playoff Bound: In our inaugural season, we made history by clinching a playoff spot, becoming only the second expansion team in NWSL history to qualify. This achievement is a testament to the talent, strength, and determination of our roster and sporting staff as well as the passion and support of all our Bay Area fans.
Thank you, Bay Area, for making our first season legendary. We can’t wait to build on this momentum in 2025 and beyond.
Let’s keep making history together!
