⚽️ Cleveland Soccer Group (CSG), which submitted a bid for Cleveland to be awarded a National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) expansion team, announced last week that it is being backed by a group of 15 local, influential businesswomen as investors. However, the money they have raised thus far has not be publicly disclosed. If successful, this would be Ohio’s first women’s professional soccer team. “Women have been a driving force in a watershed couple of years for sports, innovation and athletes across the industry,” Tricia Griffith, president and CEO of Progressive Insurance, said in a written statement. She is part of the investor group. “And it’s just the beginning of this new era. My co-investors and I are proud to help Cleveland get into the game.” 🔗 Read more about the team's initiative at the link in our bio. 🖊/📸: Ken Prendergast, NEO Trans #Cleveland #ClevelandSoccerGroup #NationalWomensSoccerLeague clevelandprosoccer
