It was confirmed this week that the National Women’s Soccer League is to expand into the city in 2022.

The club will become the 11th franchise to play in the NWSL and are known as “Angel City” for now.

Olympia is by far the youngest owner but she is already accustomed to the limelight.

She was recently snapped playing tennis in matching outfits with her mum and already has over 600,000 followers on Instagram.

The A-list toddler is no stranger to attending high-profile tennis events and fans even predicted she could become a future doubles champ alongside her superstar mother.

The LA side are being backed by a large ownership group fronted by actor and activist Natalie Portman and Ohanian among others.

A number of ex-American internationals are also involved in the new side, including Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Lauren Holiday and Abby Wambach.

There’s plenty of Hollywood star quality involved in the operation with Portman joined by a number of fellow actors including Uzo Aduba, America Ferrera, Jennifer Garner and Eva Longoria.

The announcement means California will host professional women’s football for the first time in a decade.

It is not 23-time Grand Slam champion Williams’ first foray into ownership.

The 38-year-old has a small share in NFL side The Miami Dolphins.

And her new side will hope to ride the wave of record attendances in the league last season after the USA’s World Cup triumph.
