WNBA Star Aliyah Boston Invests in NWSL Boston Legacy Expansion

Aliyah Boston, the Indiana Fever WNBA All-Star and 2023 Rookie of the Year, has become an investor in Boston Legacy FC, a National Women's Soccer League expansion team set to debut in 2026. Boston, who grew up in Massachusetts and played high school basketball at Worcester Academy, expressed pride in joining the ownership group and emphasized her connection to the city and commitment to advancing women's sports. The ownership group includes notable figures such as Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman, actress Elizabeth Banks, and Celtics GM Brad Stevens and his wife, Tracy. Boston Legacy FC will play its inaugural season at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough due to stadium redevelopment delays. The club's controlling owner Jennifer Epstein highlighted Boston's athlete perspective as valuable in building a winning culture. Boston's investment reflects the growing influence of professional female athletes in shaping the future of women's sports leagues like the WNBA and NWSL.
