Los Angeles will have an NWSL team starting in 2022. The team, currently called Angel City FC, possibly subject to change, features a wide range of owners, enough to stock a squad of players themselves, and a bunch of them are former U.S. Women’s National Team players, so they’ve got game, too.
I know a lot of folks locally are very excited about this team, and after waiting nearly a decade for NWSL to come to California, it’s understandable. I’m thrilled this is finally coming together, after it seemed like maybe no one in filthy-rich Southern California actually wanted to do this for so long.
