Is it a foregone conclusion that Marta will return to Orlando or could another team, or retirement be in her future?

Orlando has gone from being told nobody respected them to a title-winning team everyone admires (or, at least, envies).

The Orlando Pride defeated the Washington Spirit to claim the NWSL Championship. Brazilian soccer icon Marta, the all-time leading scorer in Women's World Cup history, joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about how she celebrated her first league title.

Hello there! A champion was crowned in the NWSL over the weekend, while European action heats up this week with the latest batch of UEFA Champions League action. I'm Pardeep Cattry with the latest. All times U.

A goal by Marta helped propel the Orlando Pride into Saturday’s National Women’s Soccer League championship game against the Washington Spirit.

Washington fell behind in the first half on a Barbra Banda goal and couldn’t find an equalizer during a 1-0 loss in Kansas City, Missouri.

From their dominance during the regular season — sparked by the feet of Barbra Banda and Marta and held down by a consistent defense — to the final whistle on Saturday, this year belonged to the Pride and Coach of the Year Seb Hines, who became the first Black head coach to win the honor.

Orlando's win gave Brazilian star Marta her first NWSL title. The 38-year-old Marta, considered arguably the greatest female soccer player of all time, joined the Orlando Pride in 2017 but had never reached an NWSL championship game until this year.

The Orlando Pride are NWSL champions for the first time after beating the Washington Spirit, 1–0, in Saturday's final at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City. It is the second trophy in the Florida club's history after winning the 2024 Shield for finishing top of the regular season standings.
