Natalie Portman, Serena Williams, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Garner, and others formed a woman's ownership group and secured the exclusive rights to create a women’s soccer team in Los Angeles that will compete in the National Women’s Soccer League starting in the Spring of 2022.
According to reports, the group is calling the team “Angel City” but that has yet to be made official. When the announcement was made, Portman said "Sports are such a joyful way to bring people together, and this has the power to make a tangible change for female athletes both in our community and in the professional sphere.
