Washington Spirit just ooze main character energy.Between owner Michele Kang and star player Trinity Rodman, it’s no surprise the D.C. club has been involved in some of the National Women’s Soccer League’s biggest moments in the past five years. After appearing in the last two NWSL championship finals and losing both, what better way to double down on intent and ambition than to host the 2026 final — which has to be the year the Spirit win the thing. Right?That’s not too much pressure for Kang, who has suffered a loss in a final with another team she owns, OL Lyonnes in France, who lost 4-0 to Barcelona in last month’s Champions League final?Nor is it putting too much on Olympic gold medalist Rodman, for whom the NWSL created a new rule allowing the Spirit to offer her a salary high enough to convince her to stay in the league. Right?Surely, the relationship between the club and its home stadium, known as Rowdy Audi for the energy that erupts from regular sellouts, is too strong to allow their fanbase to suffer a third straight heartache?The Spirit are unbeaten in the matches that have broken attendance records. They beat Bay FC 3-2 at Oracle Park in San Francisco in front of 40,091 people, and held the Denver Summit to a scoreless draw at Empower Field at Mile High when 63,004 watched on.
