St. Louis Athletica
May 10, 2012
St. Louis Athletica was a women’s first division soccer club that folded six games its second season of play in 2010. The team signed several top international stars to contracts including Hope Solo, Lori Chalupny, Eniola Aluko and Shannon Boxx. But the team’s stadium and ownership situations were deeply unstable and the team collapsed in May 2010. To this day, Athletica remains the only American First Division women’s soccer team that has failed to complete a season in progress.
