Their women’s club is fast becoming one of the most famous in the US.

In America, women’s soccer is not unsuccessfully competing with men’s soccer. And it has more arguments: men have not even qualified for the World Cup in recent years, while women have confidently won two trophies. In 2020, the National Women’s Soccer League underwent an expansion. The new team immediately attracted public attention.

Uzo Aduba, Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman and Jessica Chastain. Sounds like a cast list for a new Hollywood blockbuster. In part, it is – it’s the founding roster of a new professional women’s soccer club from Los Angeles. Angel City is rapidly becoming one of the most famous professional clubs in the United States that is founded and led by women.

Natalie Portman is a big fan of world soccer in Europe, both women’s and men’s. A few years ago, the actress invited some of her Hollywood friends to a friendly match before the World Cup to raise awareness of women’s soccer. What started as a friendship between a few women with similar hobbies and activist interests has now turned into a full-fledged business project.

Right now, the Angel City team is focused on building their fan community through social media and other platforms. Natalie was a virtual guest on The Tonight Show, where she talked about what it feels like to be a part of Angel City and a part of the lives of these incredible athletes.

We thought, what if we started a club in Los Angeles? It’s the center of the entertainment industry! What else can we do to change the perception of women’s sports?

The creation of a major women’s soccer franchise is already a new wave of feminism. “Congratulating women on the same level as we congratulate male athletes is a culture change,” shared Natalie Portman.

In addition to Natalie and her colleagues in the film industry, the project involves many famous personalities: as one of the investors was the husband of tennis player Serena Williams (we are talking about the representation of the entire family, including two-year-old daughter of Serena and Alex Alex Alexia Olympia), several representatives of the “golden generation” of the U.S. national soccer team, as well as the legend of world tennis Billie Jean King.
