Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and husband of Serena Williams, has purchased a 10% stake in Chelsea Women for £20 million. This investment highlights Ohanian's ongoing commitment to women's sports, following his successful launch of Angel City FC. He aims to elevate Chelsea Women into America's top women's soccer team alongside supporting initiatives like Athlos NYC. Chelsea recently secured their sixth consecutive WSL title and is transitioning under new ownership, led by Todd Boehly's BlueCo. Ohanian and Williams are set to attend Chelsea's FA Cup final against Manchester United, showcasing their engagement with the team's community.
Ohanian's investment signifies a commitment to boosting women's sports, reflecting a trend of increasing financial support for female teams and athletes.
Joining Chelsea FC Women not only expands Ohanian's influence in sports but also underscores his dedication to making women's soccer mainstream and appealing to wider audiences.
