Boston’s expansion team in the National Women’s Soccer League finally has a name: BOS Nation Football Club.
The club, set to join the league in 2026, announced the moniker Tuesday.
The name is an anagram of the word “Bostonian,” which the club heralded in its announcement.
“It is an origin story. An identity. A badge of honor. And a title worn proudly by millions across 23 neighborhoods and 48.4 square miles,” the team said.
It continued: “We are BOS Nation. Unified not only by our similarities, but also our differences. Brought together by our love for the beautiful game. Now in this beautiful city we hold so dear.”
The club’s primary color will be “Championship Green,” with accents of “Relentless Raspberry, Loyal Charcoal, Daring Pink, Rise Yellow and Orange Press, which speak to the rich diversity of Boston’s neighborhoods and the team’s values and signal a new era in the city’s sports landscape,” per a news release.
The team also announced that Olympic gold-medal gymnast Aly Raisman and actress Elizabeth Banks, both Massachusetts natives, are joining its group of investors.
“I grew up a Boston sports fan and have special memories of going to Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox and Patriots games with my dad,” Raisman said in the release. “It’s so important for kids to see themselves in their role models and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to support the growth of women’s soccer and sports in my hometown.”
The club name is pronounced “boss nation.”
