In the early years of Heaps’ career, the situation regarding USWNT players abroad was extremely different. When the NWSL was founded in 2012, salaries for two dozen USWNT players in the league were subsidized by U.S. Soccer. As such, it was no great surprise that the rosters for the 2015 and 2019 World Cup tournaments, both of which the U.S. won, were entirely made up of players in the NWSL.
