Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion, was spotted beaming alongside soccer superstar Paul Pogba at a thrilling Major League Soccer (MLS) match between Inter Miami CF and New York City FC at Chase Stadium on Saturday, February 22.
The match, which ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, saw Williams enjoying the action from the stands alongside the $125 million-valued (according to Celebrity Net Worth) Pogba, a key member of France’s 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning team.
The event marked another high-profile appearance for Williams at an Inter Miami CF game, a team co-owned by David Beckham.
Adding to the excitement, David Beckham, a driving force behind Inter Miami CF’s rise, took time to greet Williams on the pitch.
The English soccer legend presented her with an official Inter Miami CF jersey, personalized with her name on the back, a gesture that underscored the respect and admiration between the two sporting icons.
This encounter comes after Williams famously attended Lionel Messi’s electrifying Inter Miami CF debut in 2023.
Messi, persuaded to join the MLS club by Beckham, immediately made his mark, scoring a stunning free-kick in injury time against Cruz Azul, a moment that left Williams and other attendees in awe.
Since retiring from professional tennis at the 2022 US Open, where she concluded her illustrious career with a third-round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic, Williams has transitioned seamlessly into a successful businesswoman and devoted mother.
She shares two daughters, Olympia and Adira River, with her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
Beyond her business ventures, Williams continues to be a prominent figure in the sports world, frequently attending high-profile events and maintaining close ties with fellow athletes.
Her appearance at the Inter Miami CF match alongside Pogba and Beckham reinforces her status as a global icon and a significant presence in the broader sporting landscape.
