The 2025 North Carolina Courage season is the team's ninth season as a professional women's soccer team. The Courage played in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. They reached the mid-season break just outside of a playoff spot, in ninth place - tied on points with eighth-place Gotham FC with 18, but losing the first tiebreaker, goal differential, with a -2 GD compared to Gotham's +5 GD. They finished the season one point out of the playoffs in ninth place.
Background
In the 2024 National Women's Soccer League season, the Courage were never outside of a playoff spot during the season, eventually settling into 5th place for the final 10 weeks of the regular season, before falling to 4th-seeded Kansas City Current in the first round of the playoffs.[1] The Courage also advanced to the knockout rounds of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.
Coaching Changes
On August 6, 2025, at 7:45 p.m. EDT, the club posted a statement on instagram saying "The North Carolina Courage have terminated the contract of Head Coach Sean Nahas, effective immediately. The North Carolina Courage remain focused on the continued development of the team and maintaining a professional, competitive environment for players, staff, and supporters."[2][3][4] No interim head coach was named.
In a press conference at 11 a.m. on August 7, the club named Nathan Thackeray as Acting Head Coach. When asked about the coaching search, Chief Soccer Officer Dr. Ceri Bowley said "We'll take stock after tomorrow's game."[5]
