A couple of weeks ago, when it was reported that there was a real possibility that Utah Royals FC would relocate to Kansas City, many of us hoped it wouldn’t be true, that a local owner or a group would want to invest in the team to #KeepUtahRoyal.
Unfortunately, with time running out, as Utah Soccer Holdings, LLC. remained to be sold, and the uncertainty on what would happen to Utah Royals FC if Dell Loy Hansen did not sell by the deadline of January 8th, the NWSL had to be proactive. They couldn’t wait for someone to buy the whole organization, and wonder if the new owner wanted to even continue investing in the Royals.
