    How soccer clubs have become the latest must-have celebrity investment...

    How Soccer Clubs Became the Latest Must-Have Celebrity Investment - From Matthew McConnaughey to LeBron James, everyone suddenly wants a piece of the beautiful game


    On the surface, LeBron James, Natalie Portman and Guy Fieri don’t necessarily have much in common. All three, however, are part of ownership groups of soccer teams — or, in Fieri’s case, at least rumored to be. The full list of celebrities who own soccer teams, either entirely or as part of a group, is massive. And it’s not just teams that are household names, either. Though LeBron is part of English giant Liverpool FC’s ownership group, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney recently bought Wrexham A.F.C., a Welsh team that plays in the fifth division of English soccer.

    And on this side of the Atlantic, the celebrity-to-soccer-owner pipeline is even more active. The ownership group for Liga MX’s Club Necaxa includes former NBA All-Star Richard Hamilton, Eva Longoria and Kate Upton. Longoria is also part of the ownership group for the NWSL’s Angel City FC, along with the likes of Natalie Portman and USWNT great Abby Wambach. Will Ferrell is one of the owners of Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Football Club, Matthew McConaughey is an owner of Austin FC and Drew Carey has been an owner of the Seattle Sounders since before celebrities owning soccer teams became a bona fide phenomenon.
