Major League Soccer St. expansion franchise Louis City make their regular season debut on Saturday, with Carolyn Kindle leading the club with a woman in an unusual mix of leadership roles.
The self-proclaimed newcomer to football is president, CEO and part of a nine-woman ownership group who reportedly shelled out $200 million in expansion fees to make St. Louis City the 29th MLS team.
Kindle, who also leads the women’s ownership group, told Reuters it’s been an “epic journey” since the expansion plan was launched in 2018, after previous attempts to build a men’s professional club in the football-obsessed city failed.
