The NWSL's recent CONCACAF W Champions Cup campaign exposed gaps in competitiveness as Liga MX Femenil teams like Club América and Pachuca outperformed NWSL sides by a 12-5 aggregate score. Former NWSL stars Geyse and Scarlett Camberos led the charge for Mexico, with Camberos earning Best Player honors. While altitude and travel fatigue impacted Gotham FC and Washington Spirit, the results underscore a shifting power dynamic in CONCACAF. The tournament also reignited debates about the NWSL's role in shaping USWNT rosters, as Liga MX Femenil emerges as the most-watched women's league globally.
