Told him, ‘this is what I think of you, how much a believe in you, now it’s up to you to prove that it was a great decision…’” (4/7)

re: Naomi Eto joining Denver Summit from PSG, the Cameroonian forward must wait to travel to Colorado, train with the team and make her NWSL debut until her P-1 visa is approved. Cameroon isn't eligible for ESTA fast-tracking, so she’ll stay abroad ahead of full U.S. work authorization. #SummitUp
