It is a class of Korean businesswomen. The U.S. Soccer Association has expressed its ambitious ambition to make the men's and women's national teams the most loved sports team in the United States based on the full support of President Michel Kang (66, Korean name Kang Yong-mi).

The British media 'Guardian' focused on the aggressive growth strategy of U.S. football in an exclusive interview with U.S. National Team CEO JT Batson on the 7th (Korea time).

"We will make the men's national team led by Mauricio Pochettino and Emma Hayes' women's national team become the most popular team in the United States, beating traditional popular clubs such as the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys," CEO Basson said in an interview.

In addition, CEO Basson said, "We want the men's and women's national teams to be a true U.S. team," adding, "We will make it the most enthusiastic team in all sports by using the upcoming 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup, next year's Brazil Women's World Cup, and the 2028 LA Olympics."

Behind the bold initiative was the full financial support of big donors, including Chairman Michel Kang. According to the Guardian, the U.S. national team has grown steeply thanks to large donations such as Michelle Kang and Arthur Blank, along with profits from large sponsorships such as Nike and Coca-Cola. It even predicted that sales this year will reach 300 million dollars (about 451 billion won), up 16% year-on-year.

In particular, Chairman Michel Kang, who has been named one of the key partners of the project, is already a big name in the European and U.S. soccer circles called Sheikh Mansour (Manchester City). Chairman Michelle Kang, who is from Seoul and moved to the U.S. while attending Sogang University, is a legendary entrepreneur with an estimated Forbes assets of KRW 1.677 trillion.

He also has excellent management skills. Chairman Michel Kang recently made headlines by appearing as a savior of the prestigious Olympique Lyon, which was on the verge of being demoted to the French second division due to financial difficulties. At that time, Lyon had an astronomical debt of 555.1 million euros (about 799.5 billion won), but Chairman Michel Kang drew an appeal from the Financial Supervisory Service (DNCG) after 110% of the efforts to recover his own money as the new chairman, confirming his remaining in the top division.

The love of soccer is also said to be huge. Chairman Michel Kang currently owns Washington Spirit (USA), Olympique Lyon Feminine (France), and London City Lionesses (England). In particular, he took over Lionesses, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, causing a stir in promotion to the top league.

The U.S. Soccer Association plans to expand the base of soccer around the country by re-investing about $100 million in World Cup proceeds in youth systems and soccer programs with the support of investors such as Chairman Michel Kang. CEO Basson emphasized, "We want soccer to become a sport across the United States through this World Cup," adding, "We will make it a world-class level where promising players can achieve their dreams."
