San Diego Wave: Rebuilding and Hoping for Better Times Ahead
After a tumultuous 2024 season, the San Diego Wave are undergoing a rebuild with new ownership, coaching staff, and players. Can they get back on track and compete for the playoffs in 2025?

The San Diego Wave had a disastrous 2024 season, both on and off the field. They finished 10th, outside the playoff picture, and had to deal with the exits of key players and coaching changes. However, the new-look Wave are hoping for better times ahead. They have a new coach, Jonas Eidevall, who has brought in a new style of play and a number of new players. The Wave have also made changes in the front office, with a new sporting director and general manager, Camille Ashton. Ashton has been tasked with rebuilding the squad, which lost several key players at the end of the 2024 season. The Wave have started the 2025 season with a 1W-1D-1L record, which includes a narrow defeat against defending champions Orlando Pride. Despite the loss, there were a number of positives to take from the game, including a majority of the possession, a clear style of play, and standout moments for promising young players. The Wave will be looking to build on this performance and improve their results in the coming weeks and months. They have a talented squad and a new coach, and they will be hoping to make a return to the playoffs in 2025.
