Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. is only 5 years old, but she already has the world at her feet. In 2020, her parents Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams announced that they had made her one of the National Women’s Soccer League club Angel City FC’s co-owners. At the time, Olympia wasn’t even 3 years old. This move made her the youngest co-owner in the history of professional sports.
Apart from being co-owners, Ohanian and young Olympia are both avid soccer enthusiasts. Whenever they can, they make it a point to catch their team in action. The father and daughter duo were recently in Los Angeles to watch their team play against Racing Louisville FC. The match was a thriller, and Ohanian and Olympia had a gala time.

Proud of how our women came back in the second half and I think we'd have won if there were 10 more minutes 😖 we'll take the draw and be back for 3 points next time pic.twitter.com/TyNeCfaPP2
