All members of the Williams-Ohanian family are big fans of soccer. Although Serena Williams is a legend of tennis, she and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, watch as much soccer as they can. They have even roped their daughter, Olympia Ohanian, into watching the sport. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say it has become one of the favorite sports of the 5-year-old. As the FIFA Women’s World Cup is going on in full swing, Olympia received some special privileges.
The family stays up late to watch their favorite soccer star, Alex Morgan, perform her magical skills. While the two are big fans of the player, they are also her rivals, as Olympia is a part of the investor group of Los Angeles FC.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup is in full swing. The best teams from around the world are fighting for a chance to lift the most prestigious trophy in soccer. Watching the matches intently from home, the Williams-Ohanian household consists of big fans of the sport. The results are panning out favorably for them as the US Women’s National Team is at the top of their group.
But it is not easy for them to watch the matches as they take place in Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, they have to stay up quite late to catch the action live. For a change, they allow Olympia to stay up way past her bedtime so that she can watch the World Cup with them. Ohanian told his followers about his family time on his Instagram story.
He shared Morgan’s post for matchday 2 with the caption, “Serena and I are letting @olympiaohanian stay up past bedtime to watch some of this @alexmorgan13 @uswnt LFG“.
As it stands currently, the USA has won one match and tied one. At the top of their table, they advanced to the round of 16.
The Williams-Ohanian family is intent on watching Alex Morgan rise high and for Olympia to grow her love for soccer even more, as he has invested a huge amount in her name. When Ohanian invested in the Los Angeles women’s soccer club, Angel City FC, he also included Olympia. It made her youngest owner of a professional sports club. Along with her LA FC ownership, she is also an owner of a golf team.
