In the process, Ohanian recalled an incident involving the 5-year-old Olympia, who was cheering for the US women’s national team during the FIFA World Cup. While showcasing her support for the team, she was running around in the jersey of their star player, Alex Morgan. Taking note of her antics, Ohanian conferred with his wife, Serena, that their daughter could play for the US women’s national soccer team.

The former tennis ace answered hilariously as she said, ‘Not until she’s paid what she’s worth.’  It received a quick response from her husband, ‘Alright, challenge accepted.” 

It was a decisive factor in Ohanian’s entrepreneurial journey as he later co-founded the NWSL club, Angel City F.C. Since then, the tech entrepreneur has been sighted in the stands during his team’s matches. Even Olympia has become a regular attendee in the NWSL stadium as she was recently spotted in her ‘swag‘ soccer avatar.
