When Los Angeles's NWSL expansion franchise was unveiled in July, it turns out its grand announcement was just the beginning of something even more grand.
The 2022 expansion team will officially be known as Angel City FC and has lifted the lid on dozens of new investors in addition to revealing its team name. The likes of Billie Jean King, Ilana Kloss, Candace Parker, Lindsey Vonn, PK Subban, Cobi Jones and James Corden have joined an already star-studded cast in the boardroom, adding even more clout and money behind the project.
"We need everyone to invest in women’s sports and Ilana and I are proud to stand with the Angel City FC ownership group and help make new history in Southern California sports," King said.
