Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and husband of tennis icon Serena Williams, is once again investing in the future of women’s sports. Known for his trailblazing support of female athletes, Ohanian has made a bold new move by becoming a minority owner and board member of Chelsea FC Women, one of Europe’s most dominant clubs.
According to reports in the British media, Ohanian has acquired a 10 percent stake in the Women’s Super League champions for approximately £20 million.
Serena Williams shows how she goes from just woke up to party ready
This isn’t his first major venture into women’s sports. Back in 2020, Ohanian was a founding investor in Angel City FC, an NWSL expansion team in Los Angeles. That early investment paid off handsomely when the club sold for $250 million in 2024, making it one of the most valuable teams in women’s soccer.
“The silver lining of women’s sports being so underinvested was that they were so easy to invest in. You can try anything you want. There is no way that things have been done before,” Ohanian once said.

Eyes on the treble and long-term transformation
Chelsea FC Women are having a historic season. Undefeated in league play with 19 wins and three draws, they’ve already secured the WSL title and the League Cup. A win in the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United would complete the treble.
“I’ve bet big on women’s sports before-as the founding control owner of @weareangelcity-and I’m doing it again. I’m proud to announce that I’m joining @chelseafcw as a minority owner and board member,” Ohanian posted.
His passion clearly resonated with his wife, Serena Williams, who reposted his announcement on her Instagram story.
“ANOTHER ONE FOR @776FUND AND @ALEXISOHANIAN,” she wrote.
But Ohanian‘s vision extends beyond titles and trophies. He’s vocal about leveling the playing field in sports, not just in terms of money, but respect and infrastructure.
“These players are rewriting the game. Undefeated season. Eyes on the treble. But this isn’t just about winning titles. It’s about finally matching their talent with the resources, visibility, and respect they deserve,” he said.

“Vinicius desmanteló al Villarreal”
Un gol; otro con penaltito provocado (o fabricado) por él; su marcador, Mouriño, expulsado por dos amarillas; y otro penalti que pudo caer, por derribo del meta Arnau Tenas. Ese fue el saldo de Vinicius en el partido ante el Villarreal, un equipo de mucho calado que sin esa gran noche del brasileño podría haber hecho un roto en el Bernabéu.Salió con el plan de hacer el partido largo para buscarlo en la segunda parte con su mejor delantero, Mikautadze, reservado de salida. Por parte del Madrid, Xabi Alonso sacó a Valverde de lateral derecho, pelillos a la mar, y dejó fuera de nuevo a Bellingham, segunda rectificación en una semana del equipo que sacó ante el Atlético. El Bernabéu le mantiene un voto de confianza a pesar de la goleada del Metropolitano: no les recibió ni a él ni […]
“Del árbitro no hablo, que venga el CTA y que decida”
Marcelino García Toral, entrenador del Villarreal, aseguró que "no" le gustó "nada" el arbitraje de Guillermo Cuadra, quien señaló un penalti en su contra y expulsó a Santiago Mouriño por dos cartulinas amarillas, a la vez que insistió en que "no" iba a entrar a analizar cada jugada pero sí, con una sonrisa, se mostró irónico al decir que "algo pudo pasar".Marcelino inició su rueda de prensa siendo cuestionado por el arbitraje: "No sé. No voy a hablar del árbitro", respondió, aunque fue insistido por ello. Y, tras declarar, que "no" le gustó "nada el arbitraje" fue cuestionado sobre las palabras previas de Santi Comesaña , quien sí criticó directamente al árbitro y aseguró que "si ya es difícil ganar en el Santiago Bernabéu", con las decisiones del colegiado es "aún más difícil"."Es su opinión. Aunque me hagáis 200 preguntas […]
“Los penaltis los seguirá tirando Kylian, pero hoy han decidido entre ellos”
Xabi Alonso atendió a los medios de comunicación tras la importante victoria que logró el Real Madrid frente al Villarreal en el estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Un doblete de Vinicius y un tanto de Mbappé, que sigue siendo fiel a su cita con el gol, permite al club blanco marcharse al parón de selecciones con algo de tranquilidad tras la duro derrota en el Metropolitano. Sin embargo, sobre el tintero quedan aún muchos temas que tratar, como la posición de Valverde sobre el césped, una que le hace volar jugando de lateral aunque él piense que no ha nacido para ello.Así las cosas, si Valverde decidió aclarar públicamente que no se había negado a jugar de lateral es porque, sea verdad o mentira, entendió que era necesario aclarar algo. "Muy buen partido. Siempre está dispuesto para jugar donde le toque y ha […]

Miami vs. FSU live updates: Follow latest from today’s Week 6 college football game
Erich Ladwig: I don't know what a better feeling is... Knowing wholeheartedly that your team is going to walk into your biggest rivalry game and win convincingly or the excitement surrounding an unpredictable powderkeg of a game you know is going to be huge. That's my predicament one year apart in the Miami/FSU rivalry.Part of me wants to believe that Miami will walk into Doak Campbell Stadium and leave no doubt, akin to their wins over USF and Florida. But there is a part of me that agrees with Coach Cristobal, that FSU is physical and more talented than a year ago. The proof is there: Florida State has a much more capable offense than the Gators. And even Florida was able to make the game against UM interesting for a spell.I think Florida State will score more often than […]
Bryan Woo left off Mariners’ postseason roster, might be available if Seattle advances
SEATTLE – When Bryan Woo threw off a mound on Wednesday, he called it a positive day. But he also said he hoped to feel even better in a week, which cast serious doubt on his availability for this American League Division Series.Sure enough, the Mariners confirmed that feeling on Saturday by leaving Woo off the roster for their series with the Detroit Tigers.
