Major League Soccer's expansion franchise St. Louis City SC make their regular-season debut on Saturday, with the league's first-ever female majority owner in Carolyn Kindle.

American executive Meg Whitman, a part owner of FC Cincinnati, and Columbus Crew co-owner Dee Haslam are among the women with existing stakes in MLS clubs."We want to have more diversity in our ownership groups so that we have diversity of thought, not just diversity of our fan base and of our coaching ranks and our administration, but diversity around our board table."
"It goes back to one thing that I've always wanted to do, and that's put St. Louis back on the international map. And what better way to do that than with a global sport," said Kindle.
