"It's rare to see a club and its pathway so deeply rooted in the community from day one,"
"It aligns perfectly with an ambition to create a world-class environment for soccer in OKC at all levels of the game."
"We are thrilled to welcome Jozy Altidore and Alex Lee to the OKC for Soccer family,"
"Jozy brings something you cannot manufacture: world-class credibility, a player's understanding of what it takes to develop talent, and the ability to inspire the next generation from the locker room to the boardroom."
Jozy Altidore has joined the OKC for Soccer ownership group alongside NBA star Russell Westbrook. The ownership group purchased the rights to a USL Championship team that previously was the OKC Energy. The group plans to have a team ready for a new downtown Oklahoma City stadium slated to open in 2028. Altidore is a two-time U.S. Soccer Player of the Year, two-time World Cup participant, and has played in the English Premier League and Spain's LaLiga. The ownership group includes primary owners Echo Investment Capital, Altidore's business partner Alex Lee, and the Chickasaw Nation. Echo founding partner and CEO Christian Kanady highlighted Altidore's credibility, player insight on talent development, and ability to inspire the next generation.
