Alexis Ohanian Sells His Football Club
Alexis Ohanian and renowned actress Natalie Portman have sold their football club, “Angel City.” The sale price amounted to $250 million. The club has been purchased by journalist Willow Bay and her husband, Bob Iger, the president of The Walt Disney Company. Iger will become the new head of the club.
The decision to sell was announced earlier, but the approval of the National Women’s Soccer League was a necessary condition for the transaction to proceed.
The sale price is record-breaking; no women’s football team has ever been sold for such an amount in history.
The “Angel City” women’s football club was established in 2019, and Alexis Ohanian, a businessman of Armenian descent, has played a significant role in the team’s development.
