Even before the investment, the club was considered the world’s most valuable women’s sports franchise
Willow Bay and her husband Bob Iger have acquired control of Los Angeles women’s soccer franchise Angel City FC, the team announced Wednesday.
Bay, Dean of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism, and the Disney CEO nearly doubled the value of the franchise with a pre-capital valuation of $250 million and an investment of over $50 million. Even before the investment, the club was considered the worlds most valuable women’s sports franchise.
Bay will control the ACFC Board of Directors, and serve as the controlling owner for National Women’s Soccer League purposes and represent Angel City on the organization’s Board of Governors.
