AUSTIN, Texas — You don't have to travel to France to see live competitive women's soccer this weekend!

Austin's very own semi-professional women's soccer team, FC Austin Elite, is playing at Circuit of the Americas – and you can watch the match for free.

The team is now in its fifth year and features current collegiate athletes, college graduates and even former professional players.

Some of the players are new to the team, but others have been with the team since its beginning. 

"I think this year is the first year that we have a solid group that shows up every game, and we have constant chemistry," Libby Fish said.
