London City Lionesses: Who are the Women’s Super League newcomers?

The club has been transformed under the leadership of Kang, whose wealth has been estimated at $1.2bn (£890m) by Forbes.

She bought the Lionesses in December 2023, when the team were on the brink of liquidation.

Kang is also involved in other women’s football teams – she is the majority owner of US team Washington Spirit and French side Lyon.

Six months after Kang’s purchase of London City, Jocelyn Precheur was hired as manager.

Kang also moved the club to their current stadium and announced plans for a state-of-the-art training facility in Kent.

In 2024, Kang announced a $50m global investment aimed at improving the health of elite female athletes.

She is also founder of Kynisca – a venture dedicated to women’s football, which includes the three football teams she owns.

London City will make history when they wear the slogan ‘Everyone Watches Women’s Sports’ on the front of their shirts on their WSL debut at Arsenal.
