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.
Serena Williams’ husband issues a challenge
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.

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.
