DENVER | Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning became the latest sports celebrity to join the ownership group of Denver’s National Women’s Soccer League expansion team on Tuesday.

Manning follows two-time Olympic champion ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin, who was announced as an investor last month in a club that will make its debut next season.

Manning and Shiffrin join an NWSL group in Denver led by controlling owner Rob Cohen. Denver was awarded the NWSL’s 16th team earlier this year.

“Peyton’s legacy as a champion and a leader is second to none,” Cohen said in a news release. “His impact on Colorado sports is unmatched, and we’re incredibly proud to have him as a partner. He brings passion, insight, and deep local roots — all of which will help us shape the future of Denver NWSL.”
