History was made today in Atlanta. Arthur Blank and AMB Sports & Entertainment officially announced that the National Women’s Soccer League is coming to the city, with Atlanta’s newest professional club set to kick off in 2028.
Jason Longshore is joined by Madison Crews to break down the significance of the announcement — from what it means for women’s soccer in Atlanta to how this move continues the city’s rise as the epicenter of the sport in the United States. The conversation dives into the details of the expansion, Blank’s long-term investment in the women’s game, and the impact this club could have on the next generation of players and fans.
Before Atlanta steps into its potential NWSL future, Atlanta Soccer Flashback looks back at the women who built the foundation — from the 1992 push to make women’s soccer part of the Olympics, to the gold medal night in Athens that changed the sport forever.

🏅 The lobbying that made Atlanta ’96 a turning point
⚽ The rise and legacy of the Atlanta Beat
🏫 The growth of Georgia’s youth, college, and grassroots programs
🔥 The Dream, the Vibe, and the next wave of women’s sports in the city
💪 And how tonight’s NWSL news brings it all full circle
It’s the story of how belief turned into legacy — and how Atlanta helped change women’s soccer forever.

On this special edition of Atlanta Soccer Tonight, Jason Longshore and Mike Conti react to the club’s announcement that Martino has returned as head coach through the 2027 season.

Jason and Mike also discuss how Martino and Chief Soccer Officer Chris Henderson will work together to shape the roster, the lessons Tata brings from his time with Mexico and Inter Miami, and more.
From the fan reaction to the tactical blueprint, it’s a full-circle night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Diego Maradona was more than a soccer player — he was an emotion.
From the dirt streets of Villa Fiorito to the roar of Naples, from the glory of Mexico ’86 to the heartbreak of scandal and exile, this is the story of the most human genius the sport has ever known.
In this special edition of Atlanta Soccer Flashback, Jason Longshore traces Maradona’s life through its triumphs and turmoil — the boy who played barefoot in Buenos Aires, the man who lifted Argentina and Napoli to immortality, and the legend who reminded us all that “La pelota no se mancha” — the ball does not get stained.
It’s a story of faith, fire, and forgiveness — the beautiful chaos of Diego Armando Maradona.
Atlanta United’s next move could define the club’s future — will it be Tata Martino, the returning champion who was previously linked with LAFC, or Giovanni Savarese, the proven MLS builder with deep New York roots... or someone else entirely?
Jason Longshore breaks down the win-now vs. stability debate, explores how the MLS coaching carousel (including LAFC, New England, and the Red Bulls) could impact Atlanta’s timeline, and dives into the opening week of the MLS Cup Playoffs — from Charlotte’s home loss to NYCFC to Philadelphia’s shootout thriller over Chicago, Miami’s dominance, and San Diego’s statement win.
Plus, a look at the local college scene in the 3-4-3 and more!
