Seattle, WA - After announcing a 2022 move back to Seattle from Tacoma, National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side Olympique Lyonnais Reign announced a 2023 move back to Tacoma followed by a 2024 move to Spokane, to increase attendance.

“We are announcing our plans early in order to allow enough support to build over the next year and a half to truly make our move to Spokane a grand debut,” stated OL Reign CEO Bill Predmore. “Given enough time, we will find a place where we can generate enough interest in our team to keep them in one place, or we will just move them back to Tacoma.”

Sources indicate that players are worried that the move will take a toll on their already meager finances, but are resigned to the move happening as one anonymous player stated, “Well…. It’s better than Fife.”

However, fans in the Seattle area are reportedly incensed at the constant moving as they claim that, “Moving a team nearly every two years is no the way to build a fanbase.”
