Julie Uhrman Transitions from CEO Role at Angel City FC
Julie Uhrman, co-founder of Angel City FC, will resign as CEO at the end of March, as announced by the club. Starting April 1, she will assume the position of Principal Advisor to the ownership group while remaining on the board to influence the team's long-term strategy. Uhrman expressed her pride in building Angel City, emphasizing a commitment to intentional growth that balances mission and investment in players, community, and fan engagement.
Since its founding in 2020 alongside notable figures like Natalie Portman and Kara Nortman, Uhrman has been a prominent advocate for women's sports. Under her leadership, ACFC achieved significant milestones, including becoming the most valuable women's sports team globally after a $250 million stake acquisition in 2024. Despite challenges on the field, including a playoff appearance and subsequent struggles, ACFC has excelled financially, setting records in ticket sales and revenue generation. The club is currently preparing for leadership changes following Uhrman's departure.
