I am proud to join the ownership group of the Boston Legacy. This city helped me grow, and the support I felt here shaped much of who I am. I couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to invest in a franchise that is building something special for its players, for the city, and for women’s sports in general.

Aliyah Boston

Boston, a three-time All-Star, grew up in Massachusetts and played basketball in high school at Worcester Academy, winning two state championships. His jersey was the first to be retired by the school in 2024.

Aliyah’s investment in our club demonstrates the strength of women’s sports as our two leagues, the WNBA and the NWSL, continue to grow and expand.

Jennifer Epstein

Sabrina Ionescu, star of the New York Liberty and 2024 WNBA champion, became an investor in Bay FC earlier this year.

Retired WNBA players Candace Parker, Sue Bird, and Renee Montgomery have also invested in professional sports teams. Boston teammate in Indiana, Caitlin Clark, Rookie of the Year 2024, was also part of a group of owners who bid for an NWSL team for Cincinnati, although the city lost out to Denver in the expansion. In 2026, Boston Legacy will play its entire first season of home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, due to delays in the renovation of its proposed stadium.
