Women’s soccer is becoming popular by the day. It is more enthralling, gaining more viewers, and few USWNT players are more famous than USMNT members. There are several factors behind this meteoric rise in viewership and fans. One of those reasons is the fame-loaded ownership groups of NWSL. The most notable group is the ownership team of Angel City FC. It has Natalie Portman, Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian, and countless others. This group is doing so much for women’s soccer after grouping so many fan bases.
