Bombshell news dropped Wednesday, as a report claims the National Women’s Soccer League is in talks with a prospective owner to bring an expansion team to Los Angeles.
The ownership group is reportedly fronted by Julie Uhrman, an entrepreneur based in Santa Monica, and the report from Meg Linehan at The Athletic says one of the two local MLS teams is said to be “involved” in the expansion club, likely as an operating partner.
While both the LA Galaxy and LAFC have claimed some degree of interest in getting involved in NWSL, neither club has yet stepped forward, the league kicking off in 2013.
