Shiffrin to join Denver NWSL ownership group
Briefly

Mikaela Shiffrin, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and celebrated alpine skier, has become part of the ownership group for Denver's newly established National Women's Soccer League team. Shiffrin expressed her excitement about supporting women's sports in her home community. The team, which will start play in 2026, is part of a broader effort to enhance women's sports culture in Colorado, as affirmed by team owner Rob Cohen. The franchise plans to construct a stadium in Denver, marking a significant investment in local women’s athletics.
I'm beyond thrilled to join the ownership group of Denver NWSL and support something so meaningful in the community I call home.
Mikaela's commitment to excellence, her global impact, and her deep Colorado roots make her a perfect addition to our ownership group.
The sport culture in Colorado is rich and deep, and -- most notably -- the growth of women's sports is one of the most exciting movements in our culture today.
To be part of it, and to help bring professional women's soccer to Colorado, is not only an incredible investment opportunity -- but it is both an honor and a joy.
