In a powerful show of community support, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence visited the new women’s soccer team, Sporting JAX, on July 15, 2025, just weeks before their inaugural season in the USL Super League. The team, Jacksonville’s first professional women’s soccer team, is making history in the city, and Lawrence’s support comes as part of a growing trend to promote women’s sports in Florida and across the country.
Lawrence, who has become one of the NFL’s rising stars, took time out of his busy training schedule to meet the Sporting JAX players at their preseason camp. The visit was particularly meaningful for the team, which is preparing for its first-ever match on August 23, 2025, against DC Power FC. During the visit, Lawrence offered words of encouragement to the team, praising their hard work and dedication.

Lawrence’s visit highlights a broader cultural shift towards supporting women’s sports in Florida. Over the last few years, women’s professional sports have gained significant traction, and the USL Super League’s launch is a key part of this movement. Lawrence, who has a strong connection to Jacksonville, was excited to show his support for the team. “It’s amazing to see how far women’s sports have come, and I’m proud to be here to support you all,” Lawrence told the players. “You’re making history, and we’re all rooting for you.”
