“Let’s Show Em” – Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Issues Big Challenge To ‘Rival’ Alex Morgan’s San Diego Wave After Historic Feat

Serena Williams‘ husband Alexis Ohanian has issued a challenge to San Diego Wave FC captained by Alex Morgan. The wait is finally over as this year’s NWSL season is set to begin this Saturday. More good news has come forward for NWSL side San Diego Wave FC as even before the start of the season, they made history with their impressive feat.

For their first clash against Chicago red stars, they have broken the NWSL home opener attendance record. With more than 23,500 fans looking to attend the match, this will be a historic feat not only for the team but also for the NWSL.

This is a huge moment for the team as they have only been in the league for a year. It’s no secret that Alexis Ohanian is a huge advocate for women in sports. So, it should come as no surprise that he would have something to say about this historic feat.

Alexis Ohanian, along with his wife, Serena Williams, is also an investor in another NWSL team, Angel City FC. Just like the San Diego Wave, ACFC has also only been in the league for one year. Ohanian took to his Instagram story to first show his excitement for the Wave on their accomplishment.

“Ya love to see it,” Ohanian shared. Then he issued a challenge with a message to fans for his team to break the record in their opener game on Sunday against Gotham FC. He said, “let’s show em what’s up at BMO on Sunday,” while tagging the Angel City team. This is certainly a positive challenge and one soccer fans love to see.

What’s more interesting is that Alex Morgan considers Alexis Ohanian to be a “rival”. This is due to the fact both are involved in different teams. However, Ohanian still shares a mentor relationship with the soccer star. It certainly is great to see Ohanian using his platform to promote women’s soccer and to challenge other teams to step up their game.
