Wonderful news to share regarding United City FC Women's player Darielle O'Brien who joins Utah Royals in the NWSL as a national team replacement players. https://lnkd.in/gtgMNtHm United City FC Women is a development club for female players. When I started UCFC in 2019 I had a vision to build an academy style club where players were there based on talent, and not financial means. We wanted to be a club that helped female athletes who fell through the cracks or went unnoticed, players who could not afford to go to college, players from minority backgrouds, players who needed a second chance. Unlike all the pay-to-play clubs, we do not charge players to be at UCFC, we invest in players to move on. We want to be a blueprint for other clubs. We want to move the needle for women's soccer by showcasing talent that has typically been overlooked. We are United City FC.

In this week's edition of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP Sports Page, we discuss: Caitlin Clark's efforts to bring the next NWSL expansion team to Cincinnati; the trajectory of private equity firms investing in non-traditional sports; NCAA's $2.7 Billion settlement; and Manchester City's recent challenge to the English Premier League's Associate Party Transaction rules. #SportsBusiness #SportsLaw

Key takeaways include the complex motivations behind recent team sales, the remarkable growth in investor interest, and the implications of these changes for the league's trajectory and the broader landscape of women's soccer. Join me in exploring how these shifts represent not just challenges but also unprecedented opportunities for growth, investment, and the promotion of women's sports. 🌍⚽️ Darin W.
