  WHAT HAPPENED

  Portland Thorns FC stars Deyna Castellanos and Olivia Moultrie signed on as Red Bull athletes, joining the energy drink giant's growing roster of soccer talent. This move comes as both players prepare for crucial roles in the Thorns' 2025 NWSL campaign.

  The Thorns stars become the latest NWSL athletes to join the Red Bull roster after USWNT stars Trinity Rodman and Jaedyn Shaw.

  "Before turning pro I had a dream list of brands I wanted to work with, and Red Bull was always on that list,” Castellanos said. “I can't wait for the amazing things we're going to build together." 

  Added Moultrie: “I’ve always seen and been impressed with Red Bull athletes. They're inspirational because they're unapologetically themselves while in pursuit of their goals. To me, Red Bull has always represented excellence. I'm honored to be a part of this rare collection of athletes that are striving for the same thing I am: world class greatness!”

  Both Castellanos and Moultrie are trailblazers in their own way as the former is the youngest nominee in history for FIFA Best Women's Player of the Year. Moultrie is the youngest player ever signed to an NWSL contract and the youngest goalscorer in NWSL history. She won the 2022 NWSL championship with the Portland Thorns.
