Soccer is the biggest sport in the world, almost everybody knows it, and loves it. The fan base of soccer enthusiasts is growing by the day. One new recruit is Matthew McConaughey. He wasn’t a big soccer fan, but then he married his wife, Camlia Alves who is from Brazil, and began to watch the sport. Eventually, he became a fan and now he is in the league of names like Ryan Reynolds and LeBron James as he owns a soccer team. The MLS team is based in Austin, Texas, and began competing in 2021. They found the team in 2018. Matthew McConaughey became the co-owner of the team, along with 6 others. In an interview, he talked about his kids being big fans and better soccer players than him.

McConaughey married his wife Camila Alves in 2012. Being from Brazil, Camila is a big fan of soccer and that’s brought her husband to the game. It was a fortunate coincidence as he became a fan himself and now their kids are even bigger fans.
