Denver has been awarded the 16th franchise in the National Women's Soccer League for a record $110 million fee, which is more than double the previous expansion fee for the league.
The investment group behind Denver FC includes notable figures such as Robert Cohen, who is set to provide the bulk of financing, alongside other experienced individuals from the sports industry.
Denver was one of three finalists for the NWSL expansion alongside Cleveland and Cincinnati, showcasing its competitive bid and strong backing for establishing pro women's soccer in the area.
The expansion franchise is set to debut in 2026, marking a significant milestone for women's sports as this fee is the largest ever paid for a U.S. women's professional sports team.
