We are FOR REAL. We are LEGIT. We are the United States
Women’s DEAF National Team.
We are the best team you never heard of.
On Saturday June 15th, the US Deaf Women’s
National Team scrimmaged against the Kansas City Shock of the Women’s Premier
Soccer League (WPSL), a semi professional league in the United States. All of
the proceeds from the match were donated to us to fund our trip to the
Deaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria from July 26th to August 5th.
We are aiming for our 3rd straight Gold and to maintain our
undefeated streak in international play while our rivals are fully
sponsored/funded by their government/federation.
For the first time in USDWNT history, we played a match
against a premier women’s soccer team. This shows how much the squad has
improved since 2005, along with the recognition and support in the United
States.
We have to admit, we were extremely nervous before the
match. The KC Shock is in the middle of their season and has been playing together
for a while. We only train together several times a year. We have been training
double days since Wednesday (June 12). We were tired and sore. We had some
injured and ill players.
We put on a SHOW. The game was evenly matched. Physical
and fast paced. We COMPETED and gave our all. We came out with a WIN. 1-0.
Safe to say, we shocked a lot of people in the stands and
in social media. We are for REAL.
We are not just some special needs team that participates
in a special needs Olympics where we just come together and play soccer for
fun.
We are a NATIONAL team. We are athletes. We compete to be
the best in the world. We are FOR REAL.
It’s time for businesses/companies to step up and sponsor
us. Our fans and supporters have done everything they can at this point. The players
and coaches have been fighting for respect since day one. Many current and retired US women's national
team players supports us.
Why? We are on the verge of making history. Imagine if we
had full resources and support available to us? Think about that.
