Background

See also: 2024 NJ/NY Gotham FC season

In 2024, Gotham FC finished the NWSL season in 3rd place and with a 17–4–5 record. ^[1] The team advanced past the quarterfinals stage of the playoffs with a 2–1 win over Portland Thorns FC ^[2] before being eliminated in the semifinals by the Washington Spirit. ^[3]

Gotham competed in three other competitions, kicking off 2024 with a defeat to 2023 shield winners San Diego Wave FC in the one-match NWSL Challenge Cup. ^[4] The team later competed in the first edition of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, where they made it to the championship match before falling at the hands of the Kansas City Current. ^[5] Finally, Gotham FC advanced to the knockout stage of the CONCACAF W Champions Cup, which will be played in May 2025. ^[6]

Preseason

Gotham FC began preseason by announcing a flurry of departures in early December 2024, including defender Sam Hiatt ^[7] and midfielders Maitane López and Delanie Sheehan. ^{[8] [9] [10]} All three players later signed with fellow NWSL clubs as free agents. ^{[11] [12]} On December 10, 2024, the club announced its end-of-year contract statuses. Five players were listed as out of contract: Michelle Betos, Mandy Freeman, McCall Zerboni, and forwards Svava Rós Guðmundsdóttir, Midge Purce, and Jéssica Silva. ^[13] While Freeman and Silva both re-signed with Gotham, ^{[14] [15]} the club announced that veteran midfielder Zerboni would not be returning to Gotham in 2025. ^[16]

Gotham continued to make roster moves in the form of trades as the new year approached. On December 20, the club executed a trade with Seattle Reign FC, involving the move of Lynn Williams and Cassie Miller to Seattle while also obtaining midfielder Jaelin Howell. ^[17] Another attacking departure occurred one week later, with Yazmeen Ryan being traded to the Houston Dash in exchange for a record-high ^[18] sum of allocation money. ^[19]

Several players were subsequently signed, filling in the gaps left behind by the club's departures. As part of the NWSL's transition from a college draft to free agency, ^[20] Gotham signed Sarah Schupansky, Lilly Reale, Khyah Harper, and Ryan Campbell to their first professional contracts. ^{[21] [22] [23] [24]} The club also signed international players Stella Nyamekye and Gabi Portilho in late December. ^{[25] [26]} On January 17, the club traded goalkeeper Abby Smith to the Houston Dash for $20,000 in intra-league transfer funds. ^[27]
