Austin Rise FC returns for its second run at the TST title, representing one of the most exciting and purpose-driven projects in women’s soccer. Based in Austin, Texas, the club is 100% women-owned and competes in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL). Austin Rise was also one of the first teams to sign a Letter of Intent to join WPSL Pro, the new Division III professional league set to launch in fall 2026. Their mission is clear: bridge the gap on the pathway to pro and provide a high-level environment where players can continue to grow, develop, and chase professional opportunities. Last year at TST, they proved they belong on the big stage, making a strong run to the quarterfinals before falling to eventual finalists Bumpy Pitch FC. That experience gave them a firsthand understanding of what it takes to go deep in this tournament.Now, with more knowledge and even greater determination, Austin Rise FC is back and ready to take the next step. Expect a disciplined, confident, and hungry squad aiming to go all the way chasing the million-dollar prize and the TST trophy with belief and purpose.
