Serena Williams is among the investors involved in a new Los Angeles based women's team which will compete in the National Women's Soccer League.
Williams is part of the ownership group called Angel City; which also includes high profile actresses including Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Garner.
Her link to the consortium is her husband Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit. Portman said in an interview with the Associated Press the following about the team who hope to join the NWSL in time for the 2022 season.
"I think it's so important to have role models and and heroes that are women for kids — both boys and girls — to see. And, it's just such an incredible sport in that it really is a team sport."
"You see one woman's success and all the others are cheering her on because one woman's success is the whole team's success."
