Caitlin Clark joins ownership group looking to bring NWSL team to Cincinnati

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has joined an ownership group looking to bring an NWSL expansion team to Cincinnati, a representative for the NWSL Cincinnati bid confirmed to The Athletic.

Cincinnati is considered a finalist in the race to land the NWSL’s 16th franchise. The league is expected to award the bid before the end of the year, with that team beginning play in 2026 alongside another expansion team in Boston.

ESPN was the first to break the news of Clark’s involvement.

“The NWSL Cincinnati bid team is thrilled that Caitlin Clark has joined our ownership group in pursuit of bringing a women’s professional soccer team to our city,” the ownership group said.
