FC Cincinnati explores purchasing and relocating NWSL club Racing Louisville

FC Cincinnati’s ownership group is exploring a potential acquisition of the NWSL team Racing Louisville. Reports indicate the organization engaged in discussions regarding a sale and subsequent relocation of the club to Cincinnati. Previous inquiries by the Cincinnati group regarding a purchase were reportedly stalled by existing personal relationships between the respective ownership circles. Racing Louisville’s ownership entity, Soccer Holdings, LLC, began investigating the sale of a stake in the team earlier this year. FC Cincinnati previously bid for an NWSL expansion franchise in 2024 as part of a group that included Caitlin Clark, but that bid was unsuccessful. The club issued a statement confirming its continued interest in growing women’s soccer in its community without commenting on specific ongoing negotiations.
