Nigerian Music Star Shows Support for New Club
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has celebrated San Diego FC’s first-ever victory in Major League Soccer (MLS), TrendzNigeria reports.
The “Love Me Jeje” hitmaker, who recently made history as the first female to own a stake in the expansion club, expressed her excitement on social media following the milestone win. She posted on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Listen, our ting is different.”
Spotted at Arsenal’s Defeat Alongside Ayra Starr
Tems, a well-known sports enthusiast, was recently seen in the stands at the Emirates Stadium during Arsenal’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to West Ham United last Saturday. She attended the match alongside fellow Nigerian pop star Ayra Starr, further showcasing her love for the game.
Historic Investment in San Diego FC
Earlier this month, Tems made headlines by becoming the first female investor in San Diego FC, a new addition to MLS. Her involvement in the club reflects a growing connection between the worlds of music, sports, and entertainment.
San Diego FC will play their highly anticipated home debut on March 1, welcoming St. Louis CITY SC to Snapdragon Stadium. Fans are eager to see how the club progresses with the backing of high-profile figures like Tems.
Music and Sports: A Growing Connection
Tems’ investment in San Diego FC highlights a rising trend of global musicians getting involved in sports franchises. Her passion for football, particularly women’s football in Nigeria, aligns with a broader movement of entertainers bridging the gap between their industries and the sports world.
