Green Bay Glory is an American women's pre-professional soccer club based in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, which plays in the USL W League. The team was formed in January 2019 and played its first season in the Women's Premier Soccer League that year.

History

On January 11, 2019, Kerry Geocaris and Melissa Cruz-Cuene announced a new Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) team in Green Bay, called the Glory.[1] Geocaris, a Green Bay native, had previously played for another WPSL team, the Milwaukee Torrent, and cited a lack of competitive women's soccer opportunities in the Green Bay area as a major factor in forming the Glory.[2] The team was announced to play in the newly-formed Midwest Division as one of 29 expansion teams for the league.[3][4] During the 2019 season, they played at Aldo Santaga Stadium at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. Beginning with the 2021 season, the Green Bay Glory played at Capital Credit Union Park in Ashwaubenon.

Prior to the 2022 season, the Green Bay Glory departed the WPSL and joined the USL W League. The team also added former United States women's national team forward and Appleton, Wisconsin, native Sarah Hagen to the coaching staff.[5]
