AUSTIN, TX — I know, at this point, you are thinking - what CAN'T Matthew McConaughey do?
Aside from serving as minister of culture and a professor at UT Austin, McConaughey continues to be an Oscar-winning actor and a beloved member of the Texas community.
Recently, McConaughey announced that he is part-owner of Austin FC, according to Fox7 in Austin. He will be joining Anthony Precourt, majority partner and CEO of Austin FC and parent company Two Oak Ventures.
Austin FC is looking to be the city's first major professional soccer league.
"Look at Austin, Texas, Look at who we are: we're one of the most diverse cities in the world, an international destination. If you take a blueprint of who we are as Austin...we are soccer. This is a soccer city," McConaughey told Fox7.
Austin FC broke ground on its new $242 million stadium in early September. The team is expected to start playing in 2021.
