This week was a big week for the soccer community in Fort Wayne with two historic signings. Fort Wayne native, Amelia White, signed her first professional contract early in the week with the Kansas City Current of the NWSL. Then on Friday, Fort Wayne Football Club announced Tiago Dias as their first professional player signing.

Amelia White joins us for a portion of the show to talk about her journey to the pros and her upcoming season with the Current.

The USL Players Association has yet to come to terms with league headquarters about a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that would include a higher league minimum salary and more consistent health and wellness benefits for players across the league. Though this dispute only directly impacts USL Championship clubs at the moment, the ripples may soon be felt throughout USL League One who only has two years left of their current CBA.

What impact will this have for expansion clubs like Fort Wayne FC?

Tune in to the first new episode of the new year!
