The new Denver franchise is in the process of finalizing plans for a purpose-built stadium for professional women's soccer. Also included in the plan is a purpose-built performance facility. Denver has a robust ownership group, led by Rob Cohen, the chairman and CEO of IMA Financial Group.
Cohen told the NWSL: “Denver is one of the best sports cities in the United States and we are thrilled to bring professional women’s soccer to Colorado. We believe that bringing NWSL to Denver will be impactful and transformative. Our goal is to work closely with Denver’s diverse communities to build a club that will operate with integrity and excellence from day one. We look forward to collaborating with our community to make Denver NWSL an inclusive and special club that all of Colorado can rally behind.”
IMA Financial Group, Inc. is a top-25 insurance brokerage that specializes in risk management, insurance, wholesale brokerage and wealth management, based in Denver. The NWSL chose Denver as the next expansion side in part due to the efforts of Denver FC, a grassroots movement that's been dedicated to bringing professional women's soccer to Mile High City.
