Giannis Antetokounmpo joins Chelsea Women ownership group

NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has joined the ownership group of Women's Super League champions Chelsea, purchasing a stake as he continues to bolster his investment portfolio. He is a close friend of Alexis Ohanian, who is a minority owner of the Blues' women's side.

A long-time football fan, Antetokounmpo has already invested in other clubs and franchises. He and his brothers, Alex, Kostas and Thanasis, became minority owners of Major League Soccer team Nashville SC in 2023, and Giannis also holds a stake in the Milwaukee Brewers.

He announced the move on social media, writing: "I'm proud and honored to partner with my friend @alexisohanian, joining the ownership group of @ChelseaFCW, a historic club built on passion, excellence, and a winning culture. Chelsea’s history speaks for itself, and I’m excited to contribute to the future by supporting continued growth and impact in women’s sport.
