Olympia Ohanian isn’t completely mindful of the job she plays in Heavenly messenger City Football Club, a fresh out of the box new Public Ladies’ Soccer Association group in Los Angeles.

Talking solely with Individuals at the group’s opener on Sunday, Alexis Ohanian, a lead financial backer in the group, shared that his 5-year-old little girl with Serena Williams “doesn’t really have any idea” her stake in the game.

Olympia importantly turned into the most youthful co-proprietor in elite athletics when her folks guaranteed she had a stake in the L.A.- based ladies’ soccer group that Ohanian turned into a lead financial backer in 2020.

“Right now all Olympia knows is that Angel City FC is our team, and she loves cheering for them,” the tech entrepreneur tells PEOPLE. “I think as she gets older, maybe she’ll come to see the different layers to it.”

“Obviously, being the youngest owner of pro sports is pretty fun, but she doesn’t actually understand that she is the youngest owner in pro sports,” he continues. “Try to keep that for as long as we can.”

Speaking about his work to bring a National Women’s Soccer League team to L.A., Ohanian adds, “[Williams] and I both want to be great inspiration for our little girl.”

After becoming a lead investor in Angel City FC three years ago, Ohanian detailed how his daughter largely influenced the decision in an Instagram post.

“As someone who spends hours kicking around a football with my two-year-old daughter, I want her to have a front row seat to this revolution. I’m personally investing on behalf of my family because creating more opportunities in women’s sports is important to my wife @serenawilliams and me, and we want to be a part of making a better future for our daughter @olympiaohanian,” he wrote.

Since then, Olympia has taken the field with the Angel City Football Club during practices.
