Michele Kang Expands Women's Soccer Portfolio with London City Lionesses Acquisition

The Washington Spirit owner's latest acquisition marks another step in her mission to build a global multi-club women's soccer organization.

Michele Kang, the majority owner of the Washington Spirit, has acquired the London City Lionesses, a second-tier English soccer team, expanding her global multi-club women's soccer organization.
The acquisition follows Kang's agreement in May to form a partnership with the owner of French club Lyon, creating an international multi-team women's soccer organization.
Kang aims to build the 'preeminent female sports organization in the world' and sees 'tremendous possibility' in the London City Lionesses.
The Lionesses, established in 2019, are an independent club that plays in the division under the top-flight Women's Super League.
Kang's multi-club organization aims to pool resources and share best practices in areas such as scouting, data analysis, and sports science.
