what is the WSL women football that sam kerr is the highest goal scorer in and does she still gold the record for the us league?
The WSL is the Women’s Super League , England’s top women’s football league, and Sam Kerr became Chelsea’s all-time leading scorer in that competition in May 2026 with her 64th WSL goal.
On the U.S. side, the answer is yes, she still holds a major goal-scoring record there in the sense that she has now returned to the NWSL with Gotham FC after leaving Chelsea, and the recent reporting confirms her move back to the United States. If you mean a specific “all-time U.S. league record,” that wording is a bit ambiguous, because the reporting I found today focuses on her Chelsea/WSL record and her return to the NWSL rather than naming a new U.S. record being broken or lost.
What the WSL is
- WSL stands for the Women’s Super League, the top tier of women’s club football in England.
- Sam Kerr’s milestone was Chelsea-specific: she became Chelsea’s all-time leading scorer in WSL matches, not the overall league’s all-time top scorer.
About the U.S. league record
- The current reporting says Kerr has joined Gotham FC and returned to the NWSL.
- I did not find, in the latest results, a source stating that she has lost or broken a broader U.S. league scoring record.
Quick wording fix
Your question is probably aiming at: “What does WSL mean, and does Sam Kerr still hold a scoring record in the U.S. league?” Based on the current reporting, she remains a record-level name in women’s football, but the latest articles I found only confirm her Chelsea WSL scoring mark and her NWSL return.
TL;DR: WSL = Women’s Super League, and Sam Kerr’s known record is Chelsea’s WSL scoring record; the latest U.S.-league coverage confirms she’s back in the NWSL, but doesn’t show her losing a U.S. scoring record.
