The WNBA expansion team in Golden State announced Tuesday that it will be called the Valkyries, which originates from Norse mythology and refers to a 'host of warrior women who are fearless and unwavering.'

The Golden State WNBA expansion team announced Tuesday its name and brand identity: the Golden State Valkyries.

The Golden State Valkyries will begin competition in the 2025 WNBA season as the league's 13th active team and first expansion franchise since 2008. The organization will host home games at San Francisco's Chase Center and practice in Oakland at the former practice facility for the Golden State Warriors, the Valkyries' NBA affiliate.

"The beautiful thing about Valkyries is that it's plural and it's together," Smith said."We need everybody -- the on-court visual representation of these athletes coming together in games, but how we win together, with partners and fans and broadcast and league and everyone else by our side, is really where the real impact will be.
