It was announced on Monday that New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu is the newest investor of NWSL club, Bay FC. She will also serve as an "official commercial advisor" to help the team form marketing strategies and the players expand their brand endorsements.

Ionescu has experience with brand collaborations, becoming the first women’s basketball player to release a unisex signature collection with Nike. She now hopes to expand that relationship to provide cleats for Bay FC and other NWSL teams, similar to deals she helped facilitate for NFL and MLB athletes.
