Michele Kang's $30 million pledge to US Soccer is aimed at transforming women's and girls' football through improved opportunities, talent identification, and professional development.
Kang emphasizes that women's sports have been undervalued and hopes her investment will inspire other donors, declaring, 'I hope this investment serves as 'seed capital' and spurs other donors to follow suit.'
Emma Hayes, the US women's head coach, remarked that this donation will 'change the trajectory of the sport,' highlighting its pivotal timing for soccer in the US.
US Soccer sees the funding as a way to double the number of national team camps, focusing on female athletes to enhance their development and opportunities.
