Steve Malik’s revolution of soccer in North Carolina is real, and moving quickly. In a surprising move, news leaked last week that he was purchasing the Western New York Flash NWSL franchise. The relocation of the 2016 champions was an unexpected move, but one that solidifies his goals of building Raleigh in a soccer powerhouse.
On Monday, the club, along with the new North Carolina Governor, formally introduced the media public to the NWSL’s newest team – the NC Courage.
Malik stated, “We are excited to be able to bring the highest level of professional women’s soccer back to the Triangle.
