As Football Manager introduces women’s football, I’m looking into the exciting possibilities of teams and players you could manage. In this post, I take a look at the FM25 San Diego Wave team.

For an overview of the series and to catch up on previous posts, please visit Women’s Leagues in FM25.


San Diego Wave were founded in 2022 and quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with after winning both the 2023 NWSL Shield and the 2024 NWSL Challenge Cup.

Having started off with immediate success, expectations are now at an all-time high. The NWSL Shield and Challenge Cup show competitiveness, but now it’s all about sustainability. Can they become a dominant force within the NWSL?

There is no better time for a young team like the Wave to establish its identity, and this is a perfect chance for you to build a legacy and implement a team philosophy.

With strong general management, led by Camille Ashton, the Wave is focused on growth and development. This ambitious vision will offer you many opportunities to make an impact, whether it be through money for signings or investment in facilities.

The NWSL is one of the most competitive leagues in women’s football, filled with tough matches that will test even the greatest manager.



Taking over San Diego Wave will mean more than just winning titles; it will be about creating a powerhouse of women’s soccer. Are you ready to ride the wave and put San Diego among the elite?
