“Really excited to announce that I have bought a small percentage of my hometown football club Ipswich Town,” Sheeran, 33, posted on Instagram. “It’s any football fan’s dream to be an owner in the club they support and I feel so grateful for the opportunity.”

“I’ve lived in Suffolk since I was three, and although I have travelled the world and sometimes feel like an outsider in big cities, Suffolk and Ipswich have always made me feel part of a community and protected. It’s such a joy to be a fan of Ipswich Town, Sheeran added.”
Ipswich will kick off their Premier League season with a home match against Liverpool on Saturday. The team secured direct promotion to the top flight after claiming the runner-up spot in the English Championship during the previous campaign.
