According to the announcement, San Diego FC sees Tems as a cultural icon whose influence aligns with the club’s mission to unite communities through football. Her involvement, along with other new investors, will help advance the goals of Right to Dream Academy—a youth football development initiative—while also supporting San Diego FC’s broader commitment to empowering communities both on and off the field.
San Diego FC CEO Tom Penn praised Tems’ addition to the club, noting that “Her passion for empowering the next generation aligns perfectly with the club’s mission, and her commitment to creating opportunities for young talent domestically and globally reflects the core values of Right to Dream.”
Tems is partnering with Pave Investments, an African private investment firm that previously played a key role in leading a group of strategic investors into NBA Africa in 2021. As part of this partnership, Tunde Folawiyo, Pave Investments’ chairman, and Kwamena Afful, the firm’s founding director, will also be joining San Diego FC’s ownership structure.
