Denver was officially announced as the NWSL's 16th team on Thursday and will begin play in 2026.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said on Thursday... this marks the first time the city has had its own professional women's team.

"We can't wait to see tens of thousands of girls and their parents and their family filing in and out of our purpose-built women's soccer facility where they can come celebrate the best as they dream to be the best."


Tens of thousands? Tens of people is more like it.

I can’t wait to ignore it! I’m giddy.

Yay!

Maybe, just maybe, we can get a WNBA team too...

Are they going to be playing at Dick’s? I’m pretty sure that’s the arena for the men’s professional team? The irony of that though….

Are they going to be playing at Dick’s?

At? Yes.
With? Unlikely.

I wonder what the name will be?

Women's soccer? Any soccer? Why?


(Sorry, I just don't get it. But then again, I just don't get ANY sports by ANY gender. Just never been my thing)

@eddiememphis - maybe they will be named after a Greek Island.

Cretians? Too biblical. Not inclusive to non-believers.

Salamis? Will there be transgender players?

Do you mean Lesvos? A famous Greek island, part of King Priamˋs Trojan kingdom? Too obvious.
