Nigerian Grammy-award-winning music star Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has made headlines once again, but this time for her involvement in the sports world. The versatile artist celebrated San Diego FC’s maiden victory in Major League Soccer (MLS) after joining the club’s ownership group as a club partner.
Tems, who was seen at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium alongside fellow pop star Ayra Starr, witnessed Arsenal’s 1-0 loss to West Ham United before jetting off to support her new team. She made history earlier this month by becoming the first African female to own a stake in San Diego FC. This move signifies her passion for football and her desire to influence the sport positively.
Through her company, The Leading Vibe, Tems has shown her dedication to empowering women and promoting sports. San Diego FC’s 2-0 win over the reigning MLS Cup Champions, LA Galaxy, was a momentous occasion for the singer-songwriter. She took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to celebrate the victory, posting with the caption, “Listen, our ting is different!!”
As Tems continues to make strides in both the music and sports industries, her involvement with San Diego FC highlights the growing intersection of music, sports, and global entertainment. The club’s highly anticipated home debut against St. Louis CITY SC at the Snapdragon Stadium on March 1 promises to be an exciting event, with fans eager to see the team’s performance under their new co-owner’s watchful eye.
Tems’ journey from Lagos to San Diego is an inspiring tale of determination and passion. Her influence extends beyond music, and her commitment to sports showcases her multifaceted talents. As San Diego FC prepares for the next chapter, fans can look forward to more thrilling moments and victories with Tems as part of the team.
