Former NBA player Jeff Teague and Tommy Pham of the MLB, as well as NFL defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue, have purchased ownership stakes in USL Championship Club Loudoun United FC.
Jordan Stuart, an area real estate agent from the DMV and director at Keller Williams Realty Sports + Entertainment, is leading a group of investors.
They join former USMNT players Landon Donovan and Tim Howard in investing in USL clubs, as well as former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch.
Tim Tebow will be part of a group that owns a Jacksonville-based USL Championship Team, which is expected to start playing in 2025.
MLS club D.C. United sold its majority stake to Attain Sports & Entertainment earlier this year in a deal valued at $40M.
This follows a trend where MLS clubs are distancing themselves from the USL to support MLS Next Pro, a new development division established by MLS.
