Angel City FC Penalized for NWSL Salary Breach

News summary

Angel City FC has been fined $200,000 and deducted three points from their standings by the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) due to salary cap violations. The investigation revealed that the club entered into undisclosed 'side letters' with five players in 2023, offering compensation beyond the league's standard contracts, leading to an excess of $50,000 over the salary cap for four weeks in 2024. As part of the sanctions, the team's President and CEO, Julie Uhrman, and General Manager, Angela Hucles Mangano, have been suspended from player transaction duties for the remainder of the year. Consequently, Angel City has dropped to 12th place, making playoff qualification unlikely with only four matches left. The NWSL emphasized its commitment to maintaining fairness and announced plans for annual audits of player spending to ensure compliance. Angel City's penalties are the most severe in the league's history for a sporting infraction, highlighting the importance of adherence to league rules.
