In Boston, July 14 is officially known as Aliyah Boston Day, and she found the perfect way to celebrate – by investing in Boston Legacy FC.

The team announced on Monday that the Indiana Fever star would become an investor in the NWSL expansion team. It’s a natural fit in more than just name.

Though she was born in the Virgin Islands, Boston moved to New England as a kid. She attended Worcester Academy, just an hour outside the capital, and she was a three-time Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year.

For Boston, it’s a chance to pour back into the iconic culture of Boston sports.

"I’m proud to join the ownership group of the Boston Legacy,” said Boston in a press release. “This city helped raise me, and the support I felt here shaped so much of who I am. I couldn't be more excited to have the opportunity to invest into a franchise that's building something special for its players, for the city, and for women’s sports as a whole. And yes...Boston repping Boston just felt right!"

Boston joins a growing list of WNBA players who are investing in the NWSL. The Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu is an investor in Bay FC, Legend Sue Bird is an investor in Gotham FC, and Candace Parker invests in Angel City FC.

“Aliyah’s investment in our club demonstrates the strength of women’s sports as our two leagues - the WNBA and NWSL - continue to grow and expand,” said Legacy controlling owner Jennifer Epstein. “She is a proven winner who understands what it takes to build a championship team, and her presence in our investor group brings an invaluable athlete perspective. It’s an exciting time to see professional female athletes help shape the future of global women’s sports.”

As the NWSL ships up to Boston, part of Boston’s legacy will in fact be the Boston Legacy.
