Lindsey Vonn's partnership with Utah Royals

A Year In TIME

Lindsey Vonn announced that she had decided to become a part owner of the Utah Royals FC, a soccer team that plays in the National Women's Soccer League. The team was previously a part of the league before the operations were suspended in 2021.

Utah Royals FC is poised for a strong comeback in the 2024 season, thanks to the support of many great people. Vonn revealed that her decision to be part of the team is to make a bigger impact in society altogether.

In an attempt to fuel her purpose, Vonn revealed that she would be giving away 25 tickets to young girls whenever the team plays a game at their home stadium.

"I can have a bigger impact than when I was racing. It’s a different impact. You’re inspired by your actions by investing. I’m not a player. I’m investing in other players,” she told the Athletic.

Vonn believes in leading by example and this is just one of those instances where she has helped the community prosper. Vonn, through her foundation, provides scholarships to promote the growth and welfare of underprivileged children.
