Kansas City sees the return of the NWSL after the team based in Utah ceased operations and transferred ownership on December 7 to the Chris and Angie Long ownership group that includes Brittany Matthews and Jen Gulvik. Timeline-wise, NWSL KC has had about a month to fully launch this team. We’ve seen a roster announcement, a trade, and signings, including an international signing. Beyond these news, here’s what we’re watching.
Official team name
The club still needs an identity. Since its announcement, the club has been known as NWSL KC, with the @KCWoSo Twitter handle.
