Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Tems joined in celebrating San Diego FC's historic first Major League Soccer victory, marking a triumphant debut for the expansion team with a 2-0 win over LA Galaxy. The singer-songwriter, who recently became part of the club's ownership group through her company The Leading Vibe, couldn't contain her excitement over the team's impressive performance.
The momentous victory at Dignity Health Sports Park was powered by Anders Dreyer's debut brace, with Hirving Lozano making significant contributions to secure the win against the reigning MLS Cup champions. Tems, whose real name is Temilade Openiyi, took to social media to share in the jubilation of this milestone achievement.
The Nigerian-born artist's involvement with San Diego FC, announced in early February, is part of a broader initiative that brings together prominent figures from various entertainment sectors. This strategic partnership includes other notable personalities such as actress Issa Rae and World Cup champion Juan Mata, demonstrating the club's commitment to building a strong presence both in sports and entertainment.
San Diego FC's convincing victory over LA Galaxy has set a powerful precedent for the expansion team, silencing critics and showcasing their potential in the league. The team is now looking ahead to their eagerly anticipated home opener against St. Louis CITY SC on March 1, where they hope to maintain their winning momentum.
This collaboration between Tems and San Diego FC represents the growing convergence of music, sports, and global entertainment in Major League Soccer, highlighting the league's expanding international appeal and cultural influence.
