Angel City FC

Angel City FC’s entrance into the NWSL ranks among the highest profile and most commercially successful launches in the history of professional women’s sports. The club’s Tinseltown locale and strong women’s empowerment message made ACFC a magnet for celebrity investors — including Christina Aguilera, Julie Foudy, Jennifer Garner, Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, Serena Williams and many others — with brands and fans soon following suit. The club opened its inaugural season with more than 15,000 season tickets sold and 21 corporate partners on board. With Reddit founder Ohanian among the brain trust, the club has a fully developed Web3 strategy and will be among the most technologically advanced outfits in sports.
