Colorado has been supplying the NWSL with top-end talent for years.
Portland Thorns FC forward Sophia Smith, left, kicks the ball against Kansas City Current defender Addisyn Merrick, right, during the first half of the NWSL championship soccer match, Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022, in Washington. National Women’s Soccer League Commissioner Jessica Berman named Denver as one of three finalists for an expansion team in a news conference on Friday.
The bid group, publicly known as “For Denver FC,” is led by Jordan Angeli, a former NWSL player from Lakewood who later became the Colorado Rapids’ Apple TV personality and a color commentator for the NWSL. Also in the group are Ben Hubbard, the CEO of insurer Parsyl, and Tom Dunmore of Major League Cricket, who has experience launching teams in the past with USL Championship side Indy Eleven.
At present, there are 16 Coloradans actively playing in the NWSL and three players are on rosters for Saturday’s final between the Orlando Pride and the Washington Spirit, which will take place at the country’s first women’s soccer-specific stadium, CPKC Park.
