Portland is Title Town.
A supporters group that sings REO Speedwagon in the rain. We don't just watch women's sports. We built a city around them.
Portland won the NWSL Championship in 2013, 2017, and 2022. No club in the league has more. Now the WNBA is back, pro softball has arrived, and a $150M women's performance center is opening.
