JUVENTUS FORWARD AND USMNT INTERNATIONAL BECOMES NEWEST MEMBER OF OWNERSHIP GROUP
Brooklyn, N.Y. – Brooklyn Football Club today announced that Juventus forward and USMNT international Timothy Weah has become the newest member of the BKFC ownership group. Weah originally broke through at Paris Saint-Germain in 2018, winning Ligue 1 twice and the Trophée des Champions once. He also won the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double while on loan at Celtic in 2019. Tim added another Ligue 1 title and Trophée des Champions with Lille in 2021.
“Tim is a tremendous ambassador for Brooklyn FC, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the ownership group,” said Mack Mansfield, CEO of Brooklyn FC. “In addition to achieving excellence on the pitch, Tim is deeply committed to joining us in our mission to give back to Brooklyn communities and further grow the sport that has given us so much. Tim’s journey from Brooklyn to the biggest stages in international and club football inspires all New York footballers and further helps us instill an elite winning culture across all our men’s, women’s, and academy programs. We look forward to competing for championships at Maimonides Park this coming season and beyond.”
Tim has been a focal point of the USMNT since earning his first cap in March 2018. Weah was a part of the squad that won the 2021 and 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals and represented the USA at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to join Brooklyn Football Club’s ownership team and strengthen our connection to the people of New York, the borough I was born in, and the city I love,” Weah said. BKFC is a grassroots-oriented club, focused on providing not only top-level professional football but new pathways and opportunities for women and men off the pitch as well.”
