Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne, Danielle Slaton, and Aly Wagner—some of the most revered names in the beautiful game—continue to play a significant role in its growth. Post-retirement, they have all contributed to women’s soccer by joining the investor group of Bay FC. But as they say, the more, the merrier, it only makes sense for WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu to join the NWSL side as another major investor, leaving fans in awe.
Both the Romanian-American basketball player and the club shared this latest announcement just a few hours ago. Having become the WNBA champion with the New York Liberty, the Olympic gold medalist is clearly venturing into uncharted waters of another sport. Ionescu steps into the beautiful game not just as the latest owner of Bay FC but also as the team’s official Commercial Advisor.
“I was a young girl that wanted to grow up and be an athlete and was able to do so because of the resources I had in the Bay Area,” Ionescu said. “Being able to be a part of Bay FC and just be there to be able to support a lot of these athletes and kind of bring in those resources that I have,” added the 3x All-Star.
