Major League Soccer: Nigerian Star Tems makes historic move into American Football with San Diego FC
Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Tems is stepping into the world of sports as the first African woman to become a co-owner of a Major League Soccer (MLS) team. Through her company, The Leading Vibe, Tems has acquired a stake in San Diego FC, a newly established MLS club.
This move goes beyond financial investment. Tems is actively involved in the club’s initiatives, including the « Right to Dream » program, which focuses on nurturing young football talent.
“Music and sports both create opportunities for young people to shine,” she shared on social media, highlighting her commitment to empowering the next generation.
Tems has been spotted at several matches, showcasing her passion for the sport and her dedication to the club’s success. With over a billion streams to her name, this venture marks a bold expansion of her influence beyond music.
Her investment in San Diego FC not only underscores her love for football but also sets a precedent for other African figures to explore opportunities in sports ownership.
As Tems continues to break barriers, her journey could inspire greater African representation in global football, further solidifying the continent’s growing impact on the sport.
