Utah Royals FC are making serious noise in the NWSL — and Olympic legend Lindsey Vonn couldn’t be prouder.
In a powerful statement posted on social media, the skiing superstar and co-owner of Utah Royals FC celebrated her team’s remarkable run: 10 matches unbeaten heading into the international break, sitting comfortably in 2nd place in the league with a game in hand.
“Proud is the word,” Vonn wrote alongside the bee and crown emojis that have become synonymous with the club. “This team continues to show what belief, resilience and togetherness can truly achieve.”
The former Olympic champion, who joined the ownership group in 2024, gave full credit to the players, coaching staff, passionate fans, and everyone working behind the scenes to build something special in Utah.
“Being part of the journey as Co-Owner makes moments like this even more meaningful,” she added. “The passion of the fans, the growth of the club and the momentum around women’s soccer every single week is palpable.”
A Perfect Storm: Hot Streak Meets World Cup Fever
The timing couldn’t be better. As the NWSL pauses for the international window, the Royals carry massive momentum into the second half of the season — exactly as the United States prepares to host the next FIFA Women’s World Cup, an event expected to draw billions of eyes to the sport across America.
Vonn ended her message on a high note: “Can’t wait for the rest of the season ahead!! ⚽️ LFGG”
What This Means for Women’s Soccer
Utah Royals FC’s surge represents more than just good results on the pitch. Under strong ownership that includes high-profile figures like Vonn, the club is becoming a symbol of growth, ambition, and professionalism in the women’s game. Fans are showing up in big numbers, belief is sky-high, and the team is delivering week after week.
With a game in hand and a rock-solid unbeaten streak, the Royals are positioning themselves as legitimate title contenders in what is shaping up to be a breakout season for the franchise.
The message from Salt Lake City is loud and clear: The future of women’s soccer is bright — and the Utah Royals are leading the charge.
Who else is riding with the Royals this season? 🐝
LFGG indeed.
