Fewer celebrities and big names have affected the women’s soccer scene in the USA the way Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams are doing. Recently Alexis-owned Angel City FC took no. 1 pick on the 2023 NWSL Draft. The pick hyped fans and even Alexis himself. The draft took place yesterday with teams picking players in the four rounds of 12 picks each. There were many highly anticipated names and teams desperately looking to change their fate and have a new talent in their roaster.

Many highly anticipated the draft, and more than 90 players from all around the nation registered for it. Being the first pick in such an event is a big thing and a mode of pride for the stars. However, having the first pick in the draft is an enormous opportunity for the teams as well. Being able to cherry-pick the biggest talent from the pool surely is an enormous advantage.

Alexis Ohanian boasts the no. 1 pick

Angel City FC got the first pick, and they went with the USWNT young phenomenon, Alyssa Thompson. This wasn’t surprising news given a magical performance from the young forward.

Takeover featuring Alyssa Thompson x @nikefootball x @weareangelcity.”
