Mark Consuelos is celebrating a major victory, and it’s all thanks to his good luck charm.
No, I’m not talking about his favorite bottle of cologne. In case you missed it, the 53-year-old actor recently traveled across the pond to see the first game of his team Campobasso FC’s new season in Italy. Although they had a tough time in the preseason, the team wound up defeating opposing side Legnago Salus, and according to Mark, his daughter, Lola (23), is the reason for the team’s big win.

On an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, he explained, “I went to Italy the last few days of vacation to catch our team, the Campobasso Wolves in their first home game. I brought my good luck charm, Lola Consuelos. We only win when I bring her. And we won again.”
Mark also detailed how the team’s newest player instantly set the team up for success. He continued, “We signed a player, Lorenzo Di Stefano, hours before the game. We had trouble scoring in the preseason, we hadn’t scored a goal…So we get this guy, he comes down from Serie B to play with us in Serie C. He gets into the game in the second half, and in 26 seconds, he scores our first goal.”
The proud dad then proceeded to share footage of himself and Lola jumping with excitement as they celebrated in the stands. He added, “Campobasso is amazing.”
Mark also shared a few highlights from the game on Instagram, including a father-daughter selfie with Lola. He wrote, “Brought our good luck charm this weekend. Great home win for Campobasso!” In the comments, one fan wrote, “Your daughter is a perfect mix of you and Kelly!! So cute!” Another said, “Congratulations on your win!”
FYI, Mark and his wife, Kelly Ripa, are part owners of Campobasso, FC, and Mark occasionally travels to see them play. While discussing their decision to invest in Italian soccer, he told Forbes in 2022, “We fell in love with the Campobasso project and the story. We literally built everything from scratch, working with Matt [Rizzetta] and the North Sixth team to assemble a roster, coaching staff, kits, basically building everything in the span of 72 hours so this city would be able to hold onto its beloved football club and dream big once again.”
Congrats to Campobasso FC!
