American Investment in British Soccer Teams
American millionaires and celebrities are buying British soccer teams in record numbers.
In the English seaside town of Bournemouth, the local soccer team, like many others, is owned by Americans. A recent match between Bournemouth and Fulham, London's oldest professional soccer team, highlighted this trend, as both teams have American owners.
Notable teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, with global fan bases, also have American owners. In fact,
more than half of the 92 teams in the top four leagues in England and Wales have some American ownership, with Americans also investing in teams in Scotland and across Europe.
