Will Ferrell Attends Leeds United vs Burnley in Championship Showdown

Hollywood actor Will Ferrell is in attendance for Leeds United's Championship clash against Burnley. Ferrell, 57, was pictured at Elland Road on Saturday, as the club's general partners from 49ers Enterprises remain in day-to-day control.

Leeds owners, 49ers Enterprises, have several high-profile minority stakeholders including actor Russell Crowe, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, and Major golf champion Jordan Spieth. 49ers Enterprises completed their full takeover of Leeds in July 2023, having previously held a 44 percent stake in the club.

Ferrell is already a part-owner of Los Angeles FC, positioning him among the growing number of celebrities who have ventured into football club ownership in recent years. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have seen remarkable success with Wrexham, while JJ Watt and his wife Kealia invested in Burnley last May. Fellow legend Tom Brady joined the ownership group at Birmingham City last August.

Leeds enters their match against Burnley fifth in the Championship table, having won two and drawn twice in their opening four fixtures of the 2024-25 campaign. Burnley, in contrast, holds seventh place.
