The2013Chicago Red Stars season was thefifth season of thesoccer club and its first season inNational Women's Soccer League.
In November 2012, it was announced that there would be eight teams in a new women's professional soccer league, theNational Women's Soccer League will be subsidized by theUSSF, theCanadian Soccer Association (CSA) and theMexican Football Federation (FMF). The three federations would pay the salaries of their national team players (24 from the US, 16 from Canada, and 12 from Mexico) to aid the teams in creating world-class rosters while staying under the salary cap. The players would be distributed evenly (as possible) among the eight teams in an allocation process. USSF would run the league offices and set the schedule.[2]
