Sounders add new ownership, U.S. Soccer plans 2027 World Cup bid, and more: Freedom Kicks for August 14, 2019

It’s Wednesday folks, which means hopefully it won’t be super hot. Loudoun United’s first midweek match at Segra Field is also tonight, so it’s a good chance to check out the stadium if you didn’t last weekend. Before that, the news:

The Seattle Sounders brought in a ton of new owners. Included in that new ownership group is R&B singer Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, and rapper Macklemore. It’s really cool to see celebrities outside the sport get invested in local soccer.

U.S. Soccer is hoping to launch a bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
