JULIE UHRMAN
CEO; Co-Founder
Angel City Football Club
Business innovator Julie Uhrman, CEO and co-founder of Angel City Football Club (ACFC), has led the club in becoming the most valuable women’s sports team globally, with a $250 million USD valuation following its sale to Disney CEO Bob Iger and Willow Bay in 2024. Uhrman worked closely with Moelis on the process and with the board to carefully select Iger and Bay from multiple bids due to their shared values and strong commitment to developing the soccer program and ensuring players and coaches receive the facilities, resources and funding they deserve. Uhrman’s ability to transform ACFC into a cultural and financial powerhouse is reflected through its record ticket sales, league-leading $35.4 million revenue in 2024, and unmatched merchandise sales. She leads by fostering a community-first ethos that inspires fans and players alike, building a fan base that averages 19,500 attendees per game – setting a record for women’s football attendance. Through ACFC’s innovative 10% sponsorship model, Uhrman has ensured that $7.5 million of the club’s sponsorship revenue is reinvested into Los Angeles communities in the coming years, supporting programs focused on equity, essentials and education. She has personally attended over 100 Angel City community events, including partnering with Sprouts Farmers Market to replant LAUSD school gardens where children learn to grow food and prepare meals with fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, Uhrman takes great pride in one of their flagship partnerships with DoorDash, where together, they have delivered over 2,000,000 meals to shelters, LGBTQ centers, homeless communities and other underserved groups across Los Angeles.
