For anyone that loves the sport of soccer and its place in Seattle, today’s news brings everyone together and allows us all to run toward an incredible future.”
Hanauer will represent the Reign on the NWSL Board of Governors. Alex Popov, Carlyle’s head of private credit, will serve as alternate governor.

The Reign also played for a time in Tacoma before moving to Lumen Field, home of the Sounders and the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, in 2021.
