Racing Louisville FC faces an uncertain future as its ownership group considers selling the NWSL franchise. While the team previously sought minority investors to maintain local operations, current reports suggest a full sale is now possible.

NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman stated the ownership group is actively raising capital to support club operations and is prepared to sell the team if necessary. FC Cincinnati ownership has discussed a potential purchase that could involve moving the club to Ohio, though the group stated they are committed to growing women's soccer.
