Ipswich said Thursday that the British musician has acquired a 1.4% ownership stake, but will be a passive investor and not part of the club’s board of directors. The club did not disclose the value of the deal.
Sheeran is the club’s most famous supporter and has been Ipswich’s shirt sponsor since 2021. His new status as a minority owner will also grant him access to an executive box at Portman Road stadium, the club said.
