A women's soccer club built by Hollywood, venture capital and athletes bet that fans, sponsors and equity could sit on the same balance sheet. In 2024 the market priced that bet at $250 million.
Sixteen clubs, four major media partners and one newly liberated player market have turned the NWSL into a revealing test of what happens when women’s soccer is treated as a durable business, not a charitable cause.
Just Women's Sports is a Los Angeles-based digital media company built entirely around covering, celebrating and growing women's sports. Founded in 2020 by former pro soccer player Haley Rosen, JWS produces editorial coverage, athlete-hosted podcasts, video highlights, a newsletter and merchandise across web and social - reaching tens of millions of fans and treating women's sports as the real, growing business it is rather than a charity case.
