Orlando Pride, including Marta in the team, has withdrawn. Several players and leaders in the club have been tested positive for covid-19.

However, none of those tested positive have shown any symptoms, Orlando Pride reports.

"A difficult and boring message"

Now, players and leaders will be isolated for at least 14 days in accordance with health and safety guidelines.

- It was obviously a difficult and sad message for our players, our staff and our fans. But this decision is made to protect the health of everyone involved in our league, says club vice president Amanda Duffy.

NWSL becomes the first league in the United States to start up again after the corona pandemic that devastated an entire sports world.
