REUTERS: Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman and more than a dozen former US women's national team players have formed an ownership group to set up a professional women's soccer team in Los Angeles from 2022.
"Today we take an exciting step by announcing the first women majority-owned and led ownership group," Portman said in a statement. The Los Angeles team will be the 11th to enter the NWSL and will follow Racing Louisville's debut in 2021."The growth trajectory of the NWSL is incredibly exciting, but we also need to be strategic and thoughtful about how fast we expand and the communities we partner with," NWSL commissioner Lisa Baird said.
