The Utah Royals relocating to Kansas City is a positive growth for the NWSL

After leaving Kansas City for Utah three years ago, the NWSL will return to Missouri as it was reported that the Utah Royals are relocating to Kansas City. The relocation comes nearly three months after Utah Royals, Real Monarchs, and Real Salt Lake owner Dell Loy Hansen announced his intention to sell Utah Soccer Holdings.

Hansens’s intention to sell followed his expressed dissatisfaction with Real Salt Lake and MLS players when they chose not to play in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
