British singer Ed Sheeran has bought a minority stake in the Premier League club Ipswich Town.

This development comes as no surprise, considering Ed Sheeran’s unwavering support for the Tractor Boys from childhood.

Ed Sheeran’s acquisition of a 1.4% stake in the newly promoted Premier League club marks a significant milestone for both the singer and the football team.

As an avid fan, Sheeran will enjoy long-term access to an executive box at the Portman Road stadium, further solidifying his connection to the club.

However, it’s important to note that his involvement is described as “passive and minority,” indicating that he will not be joining the club’s board.

In addition to his stake in the club, Sheeran, 33, has been actively involved in other aspects of Ipswich Town. Since 2021, he has served as the main shirt sponsor and has even contributed to the design of the club’s Suffolk-inspired third kit.

His deep-rooted passion for the team is evident in his statement, where he expresses gratitude for the opportunity to become an owner and emphasizes his love for the club.

“It’s any football fan’s dream to be an owner of the club they support, and I feel so grateful for this opportunity,” Ed Sheeran said.

“I have lived in Suffolk since I was three years old, and while I travel the world and sometimes feel like an outsider in big cities, Suffolk and Ipswich have always made me feel part of the community and protected.

“It’s such a joy to be a fan of Ipswich Town. There are ups and downs but football is all about taking the highs and the lows. I’m not a voting shareholder or a board member, this is just me putting some money into the club I love and them returning the gesture, so please don’t get onto me with signing suggestions or tactics to play.

“I’m excited for the Premier League to start this weekend. Let’s go!”

Ipswich fans are undoubtedly thrilled to witness the impact of Sheeran’s involvement as the team prepares to face Liverpool in their opening Premier League fixture this weekend.
