Grant Hill and his wife, Tamia Hill, have joined the ownership group for Orlando City in MLS and the Orlando Pride in the NWSL. It is an exciting move for them.
The couple are season-ticket holders for both Orlando teams. They are now becoming part of the ownership group. The club’s owner, Mark Wilf, announced this through a statement.
“We’re very excited to add both Tamia and Grant Hill as part of our ownership group for Orlando City and Orlando Pride,” said Wilf.
“Over the past few years, we have gotten to know and appreciate Tamia and Grant, their passion for our clubs, and their commitment to the community. Both boast professional resumes that speak for themselves and are highly accomplished individuals in the business world but, more importantly, they are incredible contributors to the greater Orlando area.”
Grant Hill had a successful career in the NBA for 18 seasons until he retired in 2013. He played for the Orlando Magic for eight seasons from 2000 to 2007 and was selected to the NBA All-Star team in 2000, 2001, and 2005. After leaving the Magic, Hill played for the Phoenix Suns and later the LA Clippers. After retiring from playing, Hill became a co-owner of the Atlanta Hawks, showing his ongoing dedication to the sport.
Tamia is an R&B singer with seven studio albums. She has been nominated for six Grammy awards and has released popular songs like “So Into You” and “Imagination.” Her music has left a lasting impact on the R&B music scene.
“We’d like to thank the Wilf Family for the opportunity to join this incredible organization, and to make our family a part of the Orlando City and Orlando Pride family,” said Tamia and Grant.
“The future is very promising for both teams, and we are excited to support Orlando City, as well as the opportunity to be a part of the Orlando Pride and elevate women in sports. Matches at Exploria Stadium are one of our favorite places to take our daughters, and we are very excited to now do so as part of the ownership group. From the moment we met the Wilfs, we were impressed with their vision for the club and the passion they have for giving back to the Central Florida community, something that is also of great importance to us,” the Hills added.
Orlando City will play against Nashville in the MLS on Monday.
