Angel City Football Club announced its final roster ahead of Sunday’s season opener at BMO Stadium against San Diego Wave FC.
The club has 24 active players, two players out on loan (Vanessa Gilles, Lyon and Maithe Lopez, Lexington Sporting Club) and two players starting out on the Season-Ending Injury list (Jun Endo and Ali Riley). Both players went on the list last season.
Angel City also has filled four of the eight international roster slots.
Angel City also announced the signing of goalkeeper Breanna Norris to a “roster relief” contract through June 30. Norris earned Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2023-24) at the University of Portland.
Teams in the NWSL had until 9 a.m. Friday to be roster compliant, with 22-26 players signed to their roster.
In recent transactions, Angel City signed Savy King to a two-year contract extension through 2028. King was acquired in February in a trade with Bay FC.
The club also signed forward Riley Tiernan to a two-year contract through 2026 with an option for 2027 and Hannah Johnson to a “roster relief” contract through June 30. Both Tiernan and Johnson started preseason as trialists.
