On Saturday, Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian and daughter Olympia attended a soccer match between Angel City FC and Wave FC. Incidentally, Alexis is the leading investor of this soccer club. Well-renowned Hollywood actress Natalie Portman founded this club in 2020, with a dream to play in the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) one day.

Her dream will become a reality in 2022, as they will be a part of the NWSL this season. Recently, Portman shared a post on social media about their pre-season game, which Ohanian and Olympia attended. Later, Alexis shared this post on his social media, as he felt proud about the success of his team.

In that pre-season game, the daughter of Serena Williams, Olympia, looked annoyed at the scoreline. Notably, Olympia is also a part-owner of the soccer club. Earlier in 2021, she announced on social media, as she became one of the youngest owners of the Los Angeles-based soccer club. Indeed, at this age, it was a great achievement for Olympia.

Meanwhile, her mother, Serena Williams, is eying for a comeback in tennis this year. After suffering an injury at the Wimbledon last year, she missed almost eight months on the tour. Earlier, she indicated that she’s far from done with tennis, as the 23-time Grand Slam winner is still eying for that one Grand Slam title to touch the record, held by Margaret Court.
