A group including Serena Williams will fund a new Los Angeles-based women's team to launch in time for the 2022 National Women's Soccer League season.
Tennis great Williams joins several other high-profile women, including Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman, in founding the female-majority group.
The team name and home venue are yet to be decided, but the ownership group has called itself 'Angel City'.
There is currently no California-based team in the NWSL.
NWSL commissioner Lisa Baird says the league has "long sought" an LA-based team, which already has a "massive" interest in women's football.
