A National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) divulgou, na tarde desta quinta-feira (5), a lista de jogadoras protegidas para o draft de expansão de 2020. O draft acontece no dia 12 de novembro, às 21h (horário de Brasília) e será transmitido pelo canal da NWSL na Twitch, quando o Racing Louisville FC divulgará a lista de jogadoras selecionadas pela nova equipe, que tem previsão de estreia para a temporada 2021.
Todos os times da NWSL tiveram que proteger 11 jogadoras, sendo somente duas alocadas da seleção americana por time. As jogadoras alocadas dos Estados Unidos são aquelas pagas pela federação americana e não possuem contrato direto com os clubes. Todas as outras jogadoras ficam desprotegidas e podem ser selecionadas pelo Racing Louisville durante o draft.
O Louisville pode selecionar até duas jogadoras de cada time ou uma jogadora alocada dos Estados Unidos, podendo escolher apenas duas alocadas americanas no total.
O Chicago Red Stars foi o único time a não submeter uma lista de proteção. Recentemente o clube fez um acordo com a equipe de Louisville, trocando os direitos das jogadoras Yuki Nagasato e Savannah McCaskill pela proteção total do restante da equipe durante o draft.
Segue abaixo a lista de proteção de cada time.
