Portland Thorns
No team in American women’s soccer has the history that the Portland Thorns can boast, and that was the case even before the NWSL powerhouse swept up two of the last three league trophies.
The Thorns stand alone in the NWSL, as the only club to win the League Championship (2013, 2017), the Shield (2016, 2021), Fall Series (2020), Challenge Cup (2021) & the WICC (2021). They will look to add to that trophy case when they compete in the Women’s International Champions Cup this summer.
The Thorns have a talented roster that includes Canadian legend Christine Sinclair and American rising star Olivia Moultrie. 
Olympique Lyonnais
The most successful women’s club soccer team in history, Olympique Lyonnais, will make its triumphant return to the United States this summer and bring an unmatched resume and star-studded squad.
Olympique Lyonnais won its sixth UEFA Women’s Champions League title in the last seven years, reaffirming its image as the gold standard of women’s soccer on the European continent. The French giants have competed in ever Women’s International Champions Cup (2018,2019, 2021) and aim to add a second championship to the one they won in 2019 when they defeated the North Carolina Courage.
C.F. Monterrey
Founded in 2017 and representing Guadalupe, Nuevo León, Monterrey has established itself as a championship-winning team in Liga MX Femenil. The team claimed their second title, winning the Torneo Grita México Apertura 2021, defeating cross-town rivals Tigres UANL in the final. In 2019, the team finished at the top of the league and earned the Apertura title after a dominating season with 16 wins and just two losses.
The Rayadas are led by 24-year-old captain Rebeca Bernal, who’s represented the club since its inception in 2017, registering 30 goals in 126 appearances. She’ll lead Monterrey into Portland as they make their first-ever appearance in the Women’s International Champions Cup.
Chelsea FC Women's
Chelsea FC Women’s will arrive at the 2022 WICC coming off a record-breaking season in which it became the first team ever to win three-straight WSL titles.
Manager Emma Hayes’ efforts this season resulted in her third successive Manager of the Year award as her side won 18 of 22 league fixtures, including a 13-match unbeaten streak. On the pitch, the most successful squad in England is led by Australian forward Sam Kerr, whose 20 goals in league play awarded her the title of England’s top player, in addition to winning “Goal of the Season” with her terrific strike against Manchester United on the final matchday.
This will be the first occasion in which Chelsea brings its star-studded team to the United States when it competes in the 2022 WICC. England’s top team will compete against the top clubs in the world, seeking the title of “world champion.”
