Exciting news for sports fans in Colorado! The Colorado Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) has made a remarkable gesture as the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) expands to include a new team in Denver. In the spirit of collaboration, the UFA has decided to pass the torch, allowing the new soccer club to adopt the name Denver Summit FC.
During the naming process, over 50,000 passionate fans were surveyed, and "Summit" emerged as the favorite choice, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for the name.

The crest of Denver Summit FC features stunning dark green mountains against a backdrop of a vibrant red-orange and golden sunset. This color choice was intentionally made to mirror the breathtaking sunsets that Colorado is famous for. Sal Pace, co-owner of the Colorado Summit, emphasized the spirit of collaboration in this transition, stating, "This is more than a handoff — it’s a collaboration built on respect, teamwork, and growing our Colorado sports community for everyone."
The Summit’s decision to support the NWSL team is being hailed as a "rare" moment of sportsmanship within the Colorado sports landscape. A statement from the Colorado Summit highlighted the significance of this partnership, showcasing how the world of ultimate frisbee is enthusiastically backing the rise of women’s soccer, a sport that continues to capture hearts globally.
What’s Next for the Colorado UFA?
With the name "Summit" now associated with the new NWSL team, the Colorado UFA will need to find a new identity. To involve fans in this exciting transition, the UFA has launched a contest where supporters can submit and vote on new name suggestions. Finalists will be announced in the coming weeks, with the winning name set to be revealed before the next season starts.
As the Colorado UFA gears up for this change, they are also focused on their upcoming playoff run, where they will face off against the Oakland Spiders professional frisbee club this Saturday.
