The Portland Thorns of the National Women's Soccer League and the city's as-yet unnamed WNBA team will train together at a new performance center in a first-of-its-kind alliance between the two leagues. Both women's teams are owned by the Bhathal family, which also has a stake in the NBA's Sacramento Kings. The new privately-funded center, set to open before the start of the 2026 WNBA season, will repurpose a facility formerly owned by Nike on 12 acres in Hillsboro, a city just west of Portland.
