""The NWSLPA is proud to join Project ACL, which brings together players, leagues and researchers to better understand ACL injuries. That understanding requires looking beyond the individual and examining the conditions players train and compete in each day. Project ACL is an opportunity to build the kind of player-centric evidence that can lead to meaningful changes across women's professional soccer.""
""We are incredibly excited to bring the NWSLPA and the NWSL to Project ACL, which now comprises two of the biggest leagues in women's soccer.""
The NWSL Players Association and the NWSL have partnered with Project ACL to address anterior cruciate ligament injuries in women's soccer. The initiative will commence in June and span three years, focusing on understanding and mitigating ACL injuries, which disproportionately affect women. The study will analyze player workload, travel, and other factors contributing to injuries. Only 8% of sports research targets women, emphasizing the need for this study. Project ACL aims to create player-centric evidence for meaningful changes in women's professional soccer.
