Pretty surprising since we thought only one out of the three would be picked but they figure why not take all three.
Boston probably a year or two to get things settled. Another expansion team in same year with Boston? I’m hoping Austin.
Utah was always in for 2024 per an agreement when their previous franchise moved to KC. It was always going to be Utah and one more for 2024. Tampa, San Fran and Boston were three finalists for the spot with Utah. It looks like it will be San Fran with Utah. And, then Boston in the next expansion cycle. It gives Boston time to get things ready (a stadium), and it brings in another $50 million to the league.
Royals' return will be announced by the end of March. The chatter around #NWSL expansion has cooled a bit, but expect the official announcement of the return of the Utah Royals next month.The news at @TheAthletic: https://t.co/kMWpvnSyq6— Meg Linehan (@itsmeglinehan) February 28, 2023
