Like you, I was surprised of what I was reading: “Potential Utah Royals buyers looking to bring team back to Kansas City, sources say” (The Athletic). Say what?
If you’ve been following the league before Utah had an NWSL team, you probably had mixed feelings to the reports. The NWSL in Kansas City has a complicated history. From a team/club success, FC Kansas City won back-to-back NWSL Championships in 2014 and 2015. Names like Vlatko Andonovski, Becky Sauerbrunn, Lauren Holiday, Nicole Barnhart, Amy Rodriguez, Heather O’Reilly, Jen Buczkowski, Leigh Ann Robinson, Becca Moros, and Amy LePeilbet made the team one of the most successful NWSL teams in its history.
