Raleigh Wings was a W-League women's soccer club based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. The team began play in 1998 and folded after the 2000 season.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1998 by the owners of the professional A-League club Raleigh Flyers.[3] In their inaugural season the team amassed a 17–0–0 record, and won the W-1 Championship by beating the Boston Renegades 4–3 at Bowditch Field before 2,180 spectators.[4]

Before the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, Raleigh Wings played exhibition games against the national teams of Brazil (a 2–1 defeat)[5] and Russia (a 1–0 win).[6] They retained the W-1 Championship by beating the Chicago Cobras in a shootout after a 2–2 draw in front of a club record 2,260 home crowd at WRAL Soccer Center.[7]

In 2000, Raleigh Wings went 12–1–1 but were defeated by Chicago Cobras in the W-1 Championship final. They lost 4–2 on penalties after a 1–1 draw at WRAL Soccer Center.[8] The club then folded due to the creation of Carolina Courage to play in the Women's United Soccer Association.[9][10]
