The Seattle Sounders are reportedly inching closer to purchasing the National Women’s Soccer League’s OL Reign. This move would be a major step forward for the organization, as they look to expand their presence in the world of soccer.
The Seattle Sounders have been a major force in Major League Soccer since their inception in 2009. They have won the MLS Cup four times and have been a consistent contender for the title. Now, they are looking to expand their reach and become a major player in the women’s game as well.
The OL Reign are a relatively new team, having only been founded in 2013. They have had some success in the NWSL, making the playoffs in three of their seven seasons. They have also had some international success, winning the 2020 SheBelieves Cup.
The purchase of the OL Reign would give the Sounders a foothold in the women’s game and allow them to build a strong presence in the NWSL. It would also give them access to some of the best female players in the world, as the Reign have a number of international stars on their roster.
The purchase of the OL Reign would be a major statement from the Sounders and could help to further grow the popularity of women’s soccer in the United States. It would also give them a chance to compete with some of the top teams in the world and potentially win more championships.
It remains to be seen if the purchase of the OL Reign will be finalized, but it is clear that the Sounders are serious about expanding their presence in the world of soccer. If they are successful in their pursuit of the OL Reign, it could be a major step forward for both the organization and women’s soccer in general.
