NWSL Board of Governors approve sale of Washington Spirit shares to Y. Michele Kang

The NWSL Board of Governors has announced that it has unanimously approved changes to the Washington Spirit’s ownership structure, an important step towards Y. Michele Kang assuming majority ownership of the club. While today’s statement did not definitively declare Kang the team’s controlling stakeholder, it does appear that the Board of Governors — who reportedly held a meeting this week essentially to allow Kang and Steve Baldwin to make their respective cases — is not going to stand in the way.

The National Women’s Soccer League announced today that its Board of Governors has unanimously approved important changes to the structure and makeup of the Washington Soccer Properties ownership group, the entity that manages the NWSL’s Washington Spirit.
