The expansion team is set to begin play next year. It was formally announced by the league Tuesday. Details about where the team will play and its name will be announced in the future. Joining Wagner and Chastain as founders of the new team are Danielle Slaton and Leslie Osborne. All four have connections to the Bay Area and played for the United States.
