SAN JOSE, Calif. (Nov. 11, 2026) – Bay FC announced today midfielder Hannah Bebar has agreed to a multi-year contract extension through the 2030 NWSL season. Bebar originally signed a three-year agreement with the club in 2025.
“I think there’s so much we can keep building together at Bay FC, and I want to be part of that,” said Bebar. “We’ve learned a lot as a group this year, and I have full confidence that the vision and progress grows each day. The Bay Area has given me a home on and off the field, and I am so grateful to my teammates, fans, owners, and coaches for their belief in me. I will continue to show up for the Bay Area and give my all to this club.”
Bebar joined Bay FC in 2025 and made her professional debut against Racing Louisville FC March 22, helping the club close out a 2-0 victory at PayPal Park. It was the first of her 17 appearances during her rookie season.
“We’re delighted to extend Hannah’s contract,“ said Chief Football Officer Paul Green. “Hannah has shown great progress this season and been one of our most consistent performers. We’re looking forward to seeing her continue to grow in the upcoming years as one of the leaders within the squad.”
Bebar became an anchor of the club’s midfield in 2026, starting all 30 regular season matches. She led the club in with 2,655 total minutes played and finished in the top 10 among midfielders league-wide in successful tackles (48), interceptions (52), and one-on-one duels (137). She scored her first professional goal Aug. 1 against Seattle Reign FC, a long-range strike that earned her a nomination for NWSL Goal of the Week.
Bebar is Bay FC’s nominee for the 2026 Lauren Holiday Impact Award, presented by Nationwide, celebrating players across the league for their service and character off the pitch. As part of her nomination, Bebar has supported the Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative (BAWSI), founded in 2003 to inspire young girls in sports and expand access to play. She’s joined BAWSI at events throughout this year across the Bay Area, bringing her teammates along to serve as mentors, coaches, and role models. The winner will be announced at the NWSL Awards live on ESPN2 on Nov. 18.
