Kansas City could soon be home to a women’s professional soccer team once again. After reports last week from the Athletic that Angie and Chris Long were interested in purchasing the Utah Royals franchise from embattled owner Dell Loy Hansen and moving the team back to Kansas City, news broke this evening that the Royals players had been informed that the team was moving back to Kansas City.
Reports are that while the sale is not official yet, an official announcement is expected to come next week.
Kansas City had previously had a team in the National Women’s Soccer League from 2013 to 2017, FC Kansas City.
