2024 San Diego Wave FC season

Here is a comprehensive summary of the 2024 San Diego Wave FC season:

The 2024 San Diego Wave FC season marks the team's third year in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), coming off a stellar 2023 campaign where they clinched the NWSL Shield as the top regular-season team but fell short in the playoffs with a semifinal loss to OL Reign. The offseason saw significant leadership changes, including a contract extension for head coach Casey Stoney through 2027 and the resignation of general manager Molly Downtain. The roster underwent a major overhaul with key trades—sending Taylor Kornieck to Racing Louisville for $150,000 and reacquiring Sierra Enge—while the expansion draft cost them players like Rachel Hill, though they secured promising draftees Kennedy Wesley and Mya Jones. The club also made international headlines by signing Australian defender Kaitlyn Torpey for a record transfer fee and Swedish defender Hanna Lundkvist. In February, the team unveiled vibrant new kits—the 'Del Sol' primary and 'Poderosa' secondary—and continued playing at Snapdragon Stadium, though they briefly returned to Torero Stadium for a Summer Cup match against Bay FC.
