MORRISTOWN, N.J. (Jan. 14, 2015) - The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) announced today its official list of allocated players for the 2015 NWSL regular season. A total of 42 allocated players will be participating among the nine NWSL clubs this year, including 25 Americans, 13 Canadians and four Mexicans.

Allocated to Sky Blue FC for the upcoming season of play is Christie Rampone (USA), Kelley O'Hara (USA), Jonelle Filigno (Canada) and Monica Ocampo (Mexico).

As was the case during the previous two NWSL seasons, the Canadian Soccer Association, Federation of Mexican Football and U.S. Soccer will be subsidizing the salaries of their respective players. While the three federations are planning on hosting extended training camps and events prior to the start of the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015, they have agreed to release their players to participate from the start of the 2015 season.

The National Team players will begin the season with their respective National Teams, but they will participate in the first three to four NWSL matches before the start of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015. The NWSL will also take a brief 12-day break during the group stages of the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015.

Next on tap for the league is the 2015 NWSL College Draft, which will begin this Friday at 9:30 a.m. EST in Room 113B-C at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and is open to the public and media. Fans who are unable to make it to Philadelphia can follow Sky Blue FC on draft day through all forms of social media. Make sure to follow the team: @SkyBlueFC
