Gotham FC NWSL players received their 2025 NWSL Championship rings in a post-match ceremony at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The ceremony included speeches from former Gotham player Ali Krieger, club owner Carolyn Tisch Blodgett, General Manager Yael Averbuch West, and coach Juan Carlos Amorós. Gotham went on an unexpected playoff run last fall after only placing eighth in the regular season—the second time in three years the club won the Championship after securing the lowest playoff seed. They beat Shield winners Kanas City Current in a stoppage time game-winning goal, then went on to knock out the Orlando Pride and Washington Spirit. Amorós spoke about what it meant to him to coach the team to their second title in three years: “It feels really special. I was a football fan growing up as a kid, I love football—I always dreamt to be in a position like this, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to be possible… Second ring in three years, building something new for this football club.” “It’s always just fun to have a little reminder of how last year went,” defender Lilly Reale said about the ring ceremony. “I think it definitely fuels us for this next year even more, just to know what it means to be able to win in the playoffs and now put together a more consistent year.” Reale also praised the team’s resilience and determination, saying, “We’ve been through a lot as a team, and it’s amazing to see how we’ve come together and supported each other.”
