Broadcaster and former Colorado Rush player Jordan Angeli played a key role in establishing a National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team in Colorado. The new franchise, Denver Summit FC, joins the league alongside Boston Legacy, increasing the number of NWSL teams to 16 for the upcoming season starting this March.
Details on the Expanded NWSL Season and New Teams
With the addition of Denver Summit FC and Boston Legacy, the NWSL further broadens its footprint across the United States. This expansion reflects growing interest and investment in women’s soccer, providing more opportunities for players and local fans alike. The 16-team lineup marks a significant step in the league’s evolution and competitiveness.
Significance of Expansion for Local and National Soccer Communities
The introduction of Denver Summit FC strengthens Colorado’s presence in professional women’s soccer, building on the region’s rich youth soccer history. The growth of the league not only benefits players but also supports broader U.S. soccer development as the nation prepares for major upcoming events like the 2026 World Cup.
