Denver will soon welcome its own National Women’s Soccer League franchise and is already making waves with bold initiatives, and with Mikaela Shiffrin becoming an owner. Shiffrin, best known for winning 101 World Cup events as an alpine skier, made headlines as she decided to invest alongside fellow skiing icon Lindsey Vonn (Utah Royals).
Shiffrin made headlines today when her news spread, sparking great enthusiasm among both sports fans and her own followers. Hailing from Vail, Colorado herself, Shiffrin’s decision to become part-owner of Denver NWSL team feels natural given her deep roots there as it symbolizes her desire to contribute in something so promising for women’s soccer as soon as it begins – setting standards she hopes will set precedents of its own in women’s soccer if successful.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Shiffrin remarked, “I’m beyond thrilled to join the ownership group of Denver NWSL and support something so meaningful in the community I call home.” She went on to highlight the importance of this move in the broader context of women’s sports growth, which she considers one of the most exciting developments in contemporary culture.
