BDO is delighted to have supported 49ers Enterprises LLC, the strategic arm of the San Francisco 49ers focused on investments in teams, league and other sports properties, on its 100% acquisition of Leeds United Football Club.
49ers Enterprises initially invested in Leeds United in 2018 and has steadily supported and increased its investment in the club over the past five years.
Leeds United FC, formed in 1919, are one of the largest supported clubs in England.
"It was great to work with 49ers Enterprises on their full acquisition of Leeds United, having initially worked with them on their initial investment in 2018. Leeds has a rich footballing history and the experience the 49ers bring from their own sporting success in the United States will be invaluable for this next phase of the club's growth.
We are delighted to add another impressive credential to our professional sports sector expertise."Simon Hall, Partner, BDO LLP
