Angel City FC became the world’s highest-valued women’s sports team after Disney CEO Bob Iger and his wife, Willow Bay, purchased a controlling stake in the National Women’s Soccer League franchise, the club announced Wednesday.
In a historic moment for women’s sports, the landmark sale will value the Los Angeles-based club at a record-breaking $250 million, more than double the previous NWSL record of $120 million for the sale of the San Diego Wave in March.
