The Seattle Sounders have been in negotiations to acquire the OL Reign soccer club. This move would be a major step forward for the Sounders, as they look to expand their presence in the soccer world.
The OL Reign is a professional women’s soccer team based in Tacoma, Washington. The team was founded in 2013 and competes in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). The team has been successful in recent years, making the playoffs in each of the last four seasons.
The Sounders have been looking to expand their reach in the soccer world for some time now. They already own and operate the Seattle Sounders 2, a USL Championship team, and the Tacoma Defiance, a USL League One team. The acquisition of the OL Reign would give the Sounders a presence in the NWSL, the top women’s soccer league in the United States.
The move would also be beneficial for the OL Reign. The team has struggled financially in recent years, and the Sounders’ ownership could provide the financial stability that the team needs. Additionally, the OL Reign would benefit from the Sounders’ resources and expertise in running a successful soccer club.
The potential acquisition of the OL Reign is an exciting development for both teams. It would provide the Sounders with a presence in the NWSL and give the OL Reign a much-needed financial boost. It remains to be seen if the two sides can come to an agreement, but it is certainly an intriguing development for soccer fans in Seattle and beyond.
