Ed Sheeran has become a minority shareholder of his boyhood club Ipswich Town, after sponsoring the team’s kits since 2021.
Sheeran acquired the stake through Gamechanger 20, the company that took over the Suffolk club three years ago. The award-winning musician grew up supporting Ipswich, and with both the men’s and women’s teams rocking his shirt sponsor week in and week out, this is a natural next step for the lifelong fan.
With the Tractor Boys back in the Premier League for the first time in 22 years, the timing for Sheeran’s investment couldn’t have been better. He's the latest recruit on an A-team of A-list celebrity club owners, joining the ranks of Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, Michael B. Jordan and Lebron James.
Sheeran’s relationship with Ipswich Town is a special and organic one, and it just might give the club a new level of exposure they’ve never seen before. Ipswich to the world.
