In just three short years, the NWSL rivalry between Angel City and the San Diego Wave has grown into one of the league’s most passionate. It’s one that reaches all the way to the owners’ suites, which is why San Diego’s Jill Ellis and Angel City’s Julie Uhrman, the two club presidents, will exchange pleasantries but little else before the team’s meet Thursday at BMO Stadium. “There's a nice hug before the game. Then there's not a lot of talking,” Uhrman said.
“Between the two of us, I'd like to think that us both coming into the league has elevated the league in terms of expectations and standards,” said Ellis, who coached the U.S. women’s team to World Cup titles in 2015 and 2019. “We both really wanted to push the needle on that.” It’s a push that has fueled a dramatic spike in valuation and investment across the NWSL.
