With final rosters due last night, the WPS is still having trouble getting International Transfer Certificates for some of its international players, mainly from France. The French club Lyon, with former players Camile Abily (LA Sol) and Sonia Bompastor (Washington Freedom), is reluctant to sign them over. The club feels as though the team was left in the dust and have decided to make the transfer process as difficult as possible. FIFA even had to be called in by the WPS for assistance.
Check out this interesting article discussing the issue.
To see the drama from WPS's side, have a look at Chief Operating Officer, Mary Harvey's blog.
There is no doubt this will all get settled, let's just hope it happens sooner than later. We are only 3 days away from Opening Day!
