The Angel City Football Club are getting new controlling owners, Disney CEO Bob Iger and USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism Dean Willow Bay. This will happen thanks to an agreement between Angel City FC and the media power couple that the Los Angeles-based National Women’s Soccer League team unveiled on Wednesday.
Once that happens, Bay will act as the controlling owner for the team, including leading the Angel City FC board of directors and serving as the team’s representative on the NWSL board of governors. Natalie Portman and Julie Uhrman, two of the team’s co-founders, as well as founding controlling owner Alexis Ohanian and early investor Gillian Berry, will keep their existing board seats, Angel City FC said.
