Alexis, remembering what people used to tell him when he planned on investing in an NWSL franchise back in 2019, shared his thoughts that said, “March 2019 — So many of y’all said I was gonna lose all my money buying an NWSL franchise.” The base of his words came out to be the recently revealed numbers of NWSL team valuations by Sportico, in which Angel City FC topped the list with a valuation of $180 Million. Being courteous enough to remember the support, Alexis gave credit to one American soccer player, who convinced him to look into the space.
