Giannis Antetokounmpo acquired shares in Nashville FC years ago, and now the basketball star from the NBA club Milwaukee Bucks is also entering European football.
The national player from Greece invests in the women’s department of Chelsea FC and becomes co-owner of the club, for which the German international Sjoeke Nüsken plays.
He was “proud” and felt “honored” to be part of a “traditional club based on passion, excellence and a winning mentality,” Antetokounmpo wrote on Instagram and posed in the jersey of the team from the English Women’s Super League.
“Chelsea’s story speaks for itself”
“Chelsea’s history speaks for itself,” said Antetokounmpo, adding that he wanted to help shape the future and support “the continued growth of women’s sports.” “It’s about ambition, tradition and taking the sport to a new level. Let’s go, Chelsea!”
At the beginning of 2023, the two-time NBA MVP joined MLS club Nashville FC with his brothers Thanasis, Kostas and Alex.
Father Charles played football, as did Giannis Antetokounmpo’s eldest brother Francis.
