"About damn time" - Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian expresses excitement after NWSL gets included in EA Sports FIFA game
Serena Williams' husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian recently expressed his excitement about the inclusion of players and clubs from the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) in the EA Sports FIFA game.
The NWSL made history by being included in the FIFA game for the first time ever. This exciting development comes just in time for the start of the new season, and the NWSL will be joining other prominent women's leagues such as the Women's Super League and Division 1 Feminine, as well as women's national teams, in FIFA 23.
Ohanian is the co-founder and investor of Angel City FC, a professional women's soccer team.
In July 2020, Ohanian made a significant investment in the majority female-led ownership group, which is responsible for the team's expansion in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). He invested in the club to promote women's football in the US.
On Tuesday, March 21, Alexis Ohanian took to social media to share his excitement about the news.
"About damn time! Excited for this," Ohanian tweeted.

"This looks promising" - Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian applauds CVC Capital Partners for investing in WTA
Alexis Ohanian commended CVC Capital Partners for their impressive $150 million (£125 million) investment in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). This significant investment will have a positive impact on the growth and development of women's tennis.
CVC Capital Partners' strategic move marks a significant milestone in the elevation of women's tennis and the acceleration of commercial growth for the benefit of fans, players, and tournaments.
After nearly two years of discussions, the WTA has formed a partnership with the capital venture firm. This collaboration will result in the establishment of a new company that will oversee the broadcasting and marketing operations of women's tennis.
This partnership is a game-changer for women's tennis, as it will bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to the table. The new company will focus on enhancing the visibility of women's tennis, attracting new fans, and creating new revenue streams for players and tournaments.
The Reddit co-founder expressed his admiration for CVC Capital Partners' recent move. On March 8, he took to Twitter to express his appreciation for the esteemed capital venture firm.
"This looks promising! @cvc_capital holler at me!" Alexis Ohanian tweeted.
