Houston Dynamo ready to bring in women's team for 2014 NWSL season

Houston Dynamo president Chris Canetti suggests his club could expand into the Nation Women's Soccer League as early as next year.

The Texan outfit are looking into the feasibility of bringing in a women's side in the future and although US Soccer chief Sunil Gulati suggested it wouldn't occur in 2014, Canetti suggested they would be ready for that if the possibility arose.

"I believe that from our perspective, we could probably make that work," said Canetti told SoccerWire of a 2014 debut.

"But that wouldn't be up to us, that would be up to Sunil and the league. So we'll cross that bridge when it comes."

Canetti added: "We're taking a good look at this. We believe there's some value to what this can bring to our organization so we're doing a lot of due diligence and evaluating right now.

"I think there's an excellent opportunity that lies in front of us with the potential women's team."
