The authorities of the professional women’s soccer league in USA announced today, September 19, that the group Boston Unity Soccer Partners received the rights to register the league’s 15th team. The club will begin operating from 2026. They also revealed that there is still one more new team to be announced, which means that The NWSL will soon be a league with 16 teams.

The initial investment that the group plans to invest is 100 million dollars. 30 Million will be allocated to renew the White Stadium located in Franklin Park. BUSP is made up of women entrepreneurs who also belong to the Celtics and Red Sox ownership organizations. Their leader and next manager of the squad is Jennifer Epstein, who was very enthusiastic.

I like to think that it is the beginning of the modern era for women’s sports.

Boston Breakers, the city’s football past

Boston Breakers was the name of the women’s team that ceased all activity in 2018 after it was decided that the NWSL could only continue operating with nine teams. Its return five years later and with a league that plans to have 16 teams in the next two years, reveals the economic growth that has been achieved in the soccer.

‘The Axis of the Universe’ will now have seven sports that will work together under the administration of the same group. For now, the teams he works with are: Celtics (NBA), Red Sox (MLB), Bruins (NHL), Patriots (NFL), Revolution (MLS)and the recently added ones, Boston’s PWHL (hockey femenil).
