Caitlin Clark has joined an ownership group looking to create a National Women's Soccer League team in Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati is a growing favorite among cities looking to become the 16th NWSL franchise, with other potential outposts including Denver, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Nashville. "The NWSL Cincinnati bid team is thrilled that Caitlin Clark has joined our ownership group in pursuit of bringing a women's professional soccer team to our city," the NWSL Cincinnati bid team wrote in a statement. Bay FC, which played its first season this year, spent $53 million to cover the NWSL expansion fee. The NWSL declined to comment on Clark's involvement with Cincinnati's ownership group.
