Former NFL star J.J. Watt and USWNT international Kealia Watt announced on Monday they're investing in soon-to-be promoted Burnley.

Kealia, a USWNT international with three caps and formerly of the Houston Dash and Chicago Red Stars, said her experience in the NWSL can help the Burnley women's team grow, too.

“In the US, I’ve seen the NWSL grow into something really incredible, and we’d love to be a part of growing the women’s team here and be a part of their journey.” Burnley currently plays in the EFL Championship, the second tier of football in England, but already secured promotion to the Premier League under first-year manager Vincent Kompany. The Clarets had been relegated after the 2021-22 season, but quickly recovered in 2022-23 to return to England's top-flight league within one season.

Jordan became a in December of 2022 after Las Vegas Knight's owner Bill Foley completed a full takeover of the club. The Cherries currently are fighting to avoid relegation to the Championship after being promoted to the top flight this past summer.
