The Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) and National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) have announced the official list of allocated players for the 2014 season, including 16 from the Canada Women’s National Team.

In addition to some returning players, four new Canadians have been allocated across the league’s nine clubs. The 16 allocated Canadians that will be featuring in this NWSL season are: Jonelle Filigno, Robyn Gayle, Selenia Iacchelli, Kaylyn Kyle, Karina LeBlanc, Adriana Leon, Diana Matheson, Erin McLeod, Carmelina Moscato, Rachel Quon, Sophie Schmidt, Desiree Scott, Lauren Sesselmann, Christine Sinclair, Chelsea Stewart, and Melissa Tancredi.

The 16 Canadians join 26 Americans, and eight Mexicans, allocated by their respective federation, for a total of 50 allocated players in NWSL for the 2014 season.

The CSA is subsidising the salaries of its 16 players, while United States Soccer Federation (USSF), and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) do the same for their allocated players.
