WNBA Star Aliyah Boston Invests in Boston Legacy FC
Boston supporting Boston
Boston Legacy FC announced WNBA star Aliyah Boston as its latest investor on Monday.
The Indiana Fever center has Massachusetts roots and is no stranger to success. Boston spent her high school career at Worcester Academy and graduated as the school’s all-time leading scorer. She was also named the Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons. Late last year, Boston became the first player at the school to have her jersey retired.
Boston went on to win a myriad of awards as a North Carolina gamecock and ultimately led her team to win the 2022 NCAA championship, the second in team history.
"I’m proud to join the ownership group of the Boston Legacy,” said Boston. “This city helped raise me, and the support I felt here shaped so much of who I am. I couldn't be more excited to have the opportunity to invest into a franchise that's building something special for its players, for the city, and for women’s sports as a whole. And yes...Boston repping Boston just felt right!"
The Fever drafted Boston first overall in 2023, and she has been selected as an All-Star every year since entering the league.
“Aliyah’s investment in our club demonstrates the strength of women’s sports as our two leagues - the WNBA and NWSL - continue to grow and expand,” said Legacy controlling owner Jennifer Epstein. “She is a proven winner who understands what it takes to build a championship team, and her presence in our investor group brings an invaluable athlete perspective. It’s an exciting time to see professional female athletes help shape the future of global women’s sports.”
You can catch Boston at TD Garden on Tuesday when the Indiana Fever face the Connecticut Sun.
