In December 2022, when American John Textor became the majority owner of OL Groupe — the company that owns 89.5% of OL Reign — it felt like not much at all would change for the Reign for quite a while.
Jean Michel-Aulas, who was committed to treating women’s soccer as equal professionals alongside men’s soccer, would remain in charge of the organization. Ride of the Valkyries sources close to the club confirmed that front-office staff believed nothing would change as well. If anything, OL Groupe said, more money would be available to help grow the clubs.
