Apologies if this has already been posted and I missed it... It doesn't explicitly mention the loss of GDA, but it does address the situation wrt ECNL, now having two teams for U15 and above, etc.

For Immediate Release
Concorde Fire has always competed at the top level of competition for our elite female players. After evaluating the complete soccer landscape and carefully reviewing all information on the local, regional, and national levels of female soccer, we believe what is best for the players and families of Concorde Fire is to become an ECNL All-In member for our elite female players. ECNL is the most in line with Concorde Fire and its members’ vision and core values.
As a founding member of ECNL, Concorde Fire has thrived at the top level of competition for our elite female players through the ECNL platform, producing National team, NWSL, and collegiate players. Concorde Fire and ECNL are dedicated to excellence on and off the field.
We look forward to competing with over 80 All-In clubs that represent a large number of the most successful clubs in the history of American female soccer. The list of outstanding clubs can be found on the ECNL website (http://www.eliteclubsnationalleague.com/)
Concorde Fire is also excited to announce that we will field two ECNL teams in the U15, U16, U17 and U18 age groups for the 2018-2019 season. There will continue to be one team in the U13 and U14 age groups. This will allow more players to “Raise the Game” and experience the five core values of ECNL and compete in an elite environment with unmatched collegiate exposure.
Concorde Fire looks forward to continuing to produce the next generation of collegiate stars and National team players and to support the success of ALL players’ dreams and aspirations and to fully support the success of US Soccer National Teams.
If you have any questions, please contact any Concorde Fire Staff member.
