Denver has been named one of three finalist cities to secure a National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) expansion team, alongside Cincinnati and Cleveland. Colorado is known for its soccer talent, with players like Lindsay Horan, Mallory Swanson, and Sophia Smith hailing from the state. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston expressed excitement at the prospect of bringing a professional women’s sports team to the city. The NWSL is expected to make a final decision soon, with an expansion fee approaching nine figures. While Cincinnati is seen as a favorite, Colorado is likely to be awarded a team in the future as the league looks to grow to 30 teams. Denver7 is committed to making a difference in the community by supporting important initiatives.
