President Joe Biden, Gotham players, staff, ownership, and NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman are expected to be in attendance.Gotham won the 2023 NWSL Championship last November with a 2-1 victory over Seattle Reign FC (then under OL Reign naming).The trophy was Gotham's first in the NWSL and came just a year after the team finished in last place.The last time a professional women's soccer club was invited to the White House was in 2010, after Sky Blue FC -- the same franchise that rebranded as Gotham in 2021 -- won the inaugural title in Women's Professional Soccer (WPS), the league that preceded the NWSL's launch in 2013.President Barack Obama was in office at the time.NJ/NY Gotham FC won the 2023 NWSL championship. Jessica Alcheh/USA TODAY SportsU.S. women's national team players have also been to the White House for their international accomplishments.

Finish the job!"The USWNT won all seven games it played at the 2019 World Cup, ultimately prevailing 2-0 over the Netherlands in the final.Rapinoe made her way back to the White House in 2021, with President Biden in office, alongside Gotham FC forward Margaret "Midge" Purce.Rapinoe and Purce represented the USWNT in honor of Equal Pay Day.One year later, President Biden awarded Rapinoe the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work off the field fighting for social justice and gender equity.She became the first soccer player to receive the award and one of only six female athletes to receive the honor.A few months before that visit, U.S. Soccer and its players had agreed to new collective bargaining agreements guaranteeing equal pay for the men's and women's national teams. ,NJ/NY Gotham FC recibe honor histórico en la Casa Blanca por su victoria en el campeonato de la NWSL 2023.
