Denver & Boston NWSL Teams Debut, New Identities

0:00What's up? I'm Corey, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. The National Women's Soccer League is expanding to 16 teams this weekend with the debut of two new franchises, the Denver Summit and the Boston Legacy. Players describe it like joining a startup, building everything from the ground up with a blank canvas for culture and identity. Denver Pader reported $110 million for their spot back in January of this year. City owner Robert Cohen leads the group, and they've quickly built a roster with names like center back Kaley Kurtz from the North Carolina, Courage, Alive Rezier and Carson Pickett from Orlando Pride, and Defender I.O.K. for Mexico's Patuca. Former Manchester City coach Nick Cushing is at the helm, and their star signing is United States Captain Lindsay Heaps, a Colorado native coming from, Francis Leone. Players love the fresh start vibe. Kurtz and Brezier both talked about creating their own team identity from nothing, feeling

Right away, meanwhile, Boston earned their franchise in 2023, led by a group of women investors including USC star Juju Watkins and actress Elizabeth Banks. The city had past teams that folded, like the Boston Breakers in 2018. They've hired Coach Felipa Patauo from Benfica and signed Canadian The Shell Prince, Mexican Nikki Hernandez, and stand out goalkeeper Casey Murphy, who? Backed up for the U.S. at the Paris Olympics and made over 100 appearances with the Courage. Both teams kick off Saturday. Denver visits Bay of Sea before a record-breaking home opener on March 28 at Empowerfield, with over 50,000 tickets sold, Boston hosts Champions Gotham at Gillette Stadium, complete with a new kids on the block half-time show.
