NWSL Denver has tapped Curt Johnson, known in the league for his stint at North Carolina Courage, as its inaugural general manager, the team announced Thursday. The veteran soccer executive, whose time at the Courage overlapped with the downfall of disgraced former head coach Paul Riley, will be tasked with building the team's sporting side.

The men's World Cup coming to the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer will feature dynamic ticket pricing, a tool with the potential to send ticket prices soaring. As reported by The Athletic on Wednesday, FIFA, world soccer's governing body, will use the automated system to set the prices for the 104 games being staged across 16 host cities. With 48 teams competing, this will be FIFA's largest edition of the event and it's the first time the tournament will feature dynamic pricing.
