History[]

On January 11, 2019, Kerry Geocaris and Melissa Cruz-Cuene announced a new Women's Premier Soccer League team in Green Bay, called the Glory.[1] Geocaris, a Green Bay native, had previously played for another WPSL team, the Milwaukee Torrent, and cited a lack of competitive women's soccer opportunities in the Green Bay area as a major factor in forming the Glory.[2] The team was announced to play in the newly-formed Midwest Division[3] as one of 29 expansion teams for the league.[4] During the 2019 season they played at Aldo Santaga Stadium at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. During the 2021 season the Green Bay Glory played at Capital Credit Union Park.

Starting with the 2022 season, the Green Bay Glory joined the USL W League.
