On Saturday evening, the Orlando Pride featured in their first-ever NWSL Championship match as they defeated the Washington Spirit 1-0 at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City.

Hello there! A champion was crowned in the NWSL over the weekend, while European action heats up this week with the latest batch of UEFA Champions League action. I'm Pardeep Cattry with the latest. All times U.

The Orlando Pride celebrate their National Women's Soccer League Championship win over the Washington Spirit at City Hall in Orlando on Monday. This marks the club's first championship and the first time a professional sports team from Orlando has won a major league trophy.

Orlando has gone from being told nobody respected them to a title-winning team everyone admires (or, at least, envies).

Orlando Pride capped off a stellar season with a 1-0 win against second-placed Washington Spirit. The match at the CPKC Stadium in Kansas City saw the Pride win their first NWSL Championship since

Orlando claimed its first NWSL championship Saturday, narrowly besting the Washington Spirit 1-0 to earn the title. Zambia international striker Banda made the difference, beating Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury from close proximity in the 37th minute in an otherwise cagey affair at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City.

The Orlando Pride's NWSL Championship win Saturday evening will be celebrated Monday evening with a parade through downtown Orlando.

Orlando's win gave Brazilian star Marta her first NWSL title. The 38-year-old Marta, considered arguably the greatest female soccer player of all time, joined the Orlando Pride in 2017 but had never reached an NWSL championship game until this year.

Is it a foregone conclusion that Marta will return to Orlando or could another team, or retirement be in her future?
