Disney CEO Bob Iger And Willow Bay Take Majority Stake In Angel City FC, Making It The Most Valuable Women’s Sports Team In The World


The Angel City Football club said today it’s entered into a definitive agreement with Bob Iger and Willow Bay that will make for control of the club.

The additional capital and leadership from Bay and Iger will support and elevate ACFC in its ongoing efforts to be an innovative, best-in-class organization that can achieve success on and off the pitch in a way that is consistent with the community- and equity-driven mission and values that have been fundamental to the Club since its inception. We know they are the right partners to lead us into this new era – they are committed to further strengthening ACFC’s position as a preeminent organization and brand in women’s sports and to championing the team’s broader mission, including the advancement of equity for athletes and women-founded businesses. Currently in its third season in the NWSL, ACFC’s roster includes former USWNT players Christen Press and Sydney Leroux, New Zealand National Team captain Ali Riley, and local phenoms Alyssa and Gisele Thompson.
