Malik to Play in Courage Game

Kathleen Malik, who along with her husband, Steve, is majority owner of the North Carolina Football Club, will suit up for the NC Courage soccer game this weekend. “It’s always been a dream of mine to play alongside these incredible athletes, but I never realized it was possible until Ryan Reynolds announced he’d be playing for Wrexham,” she says. While she’s been training for a while, Malik’s realistic: “I expect to spend a lot of time on the bench.”
