Serena Williams has been an iconic figure in the sporting world. Throughout her career, the American legend has overcome all odds to achieve greatness in the sport. Along with her on-court achievements, she also fought against the social issues prevalent in society. She raised her voice against issues like the gender pay gap and racial inequalities.
Similarly, Serena’s husband, Alexis Ohanian has also promoted women’s sports in the past few years. In July 2020, a new team in NWSL was founded in which Alexis was one of the leading investors. Recently, he provided a positive update regarding his team and women’s sports.

The Reddit co-founder took to Instagram to share some good news about his team Angel City FC and women’s sports. Sharing a picture of his Angel City FC team, he said, “@acmomento worked with @weareangelcity to auction players’ shirts and raised money for the Player 22 Future Program, providing pathways for retired @nwsl players for sports-specific career development. A big win for women’s soccer.”
Further, Angel City FC’s match against San Diego Wave entered the record books. The match recorded a sellout crowd of 32,000 which was the biggest attendance for an NWSL match. San Diego Wave went on to win that match 1-0.
Talking about this, Alexis, in his subsequent stories on Instagram, said, “Sellout crowd of 32,000 fans at Snapdragon stadium. Biggest turnout for a @nwsl match! Proud of the work @weareangelcity has done so far. This is just the start.”
