Gotham FC announced plans to relocate to Etihad Stadium in Queens beginning in 2028, according to Bloomberg Markets. The move represents a significant expansion for the National Women's Soccer League club, positioning it in a larger venue designed to accommodate increased attendance and enhance fan engagement.
Club governor Carolyn Tisch-Blodgett emphasized the importance of capitalizing on the momentum generated by major international soccer events. According to the report, Tisch-Blodgett described it as the "duty" of both the NWSL and its member teams to harness excitement from global tournaments like the World Cup and convert that interest into sustained fan loyalty and long-term revenue growth.
The relocation underscores the broader growth trajectory of women's professional soccer in the United States, as the NWSL continues to invest in infrastructure and venues designed to support the league's expanding fan base and commercial aspirations.
