Aly Wagner: Building Bay FC Into A Global Brand

This week Andrew talks with 2x Olympic Gold Medalist & US Women’s National Team soccer legend Aly Wagner. Following her remarkable playing career, Aly brought her passion & tireless work ethic to the broadcast booth & business community.  In 2018, Aly made history as the first woman ever to call a men's FIFA World Cup match — and this past summer served as the lead analyst for Fox’s broadcast of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Now, she’s also a co-founding member & co-chair of the NWSL expansion team Bay FC after securing a record-setting investment from global investment firm Sixth Street as the team's lead institutional investor. Andrew & Aly explore her journey to the top of the soccer world, her plans to make Bay FC an iconic global brand, & so much more.
