Pop star Ed Sheeran was present in the stands at Portman Road, watching the match between Ipswich and Liverpool in round 1 of the 2024/25 Premier League. Although the result was not as expected (Ipswich lost 0-2), this was still a special milestone for Sheeran, when he witnessed his hometown team return to England’s highest division after more than 22 years of waiting.
But what exactly is Ed Sheeran’s connection to Ipswich? Do you own this club? The Sporting News will answer through the article below.

The total shares of the singer born in 1994 in Ipswich are 1.4%, allowing him to have a private executive room at Portman Road stadium.
“Being the owner of the team you support is the dream of any fan, and I feel extremely grateful for this opportunity,” Sheeran said. “I have lived in Suffolk since I was three years old. Even though I have traveled all over the world to perform, Suffolk and Ipswich always make me feel at home and at home.”
“It’s a pleasure to be an Ipswich Town fan. I am not a shareholder with voting rights or a member of the board of directors, but just contributing some capital to the team I love. So please don’t text me with transfer suggestions or match tactics!” – Sheeran shared humorously.

Where is Ipswich?
Ipswich is a town located in the east of England, in the county of Suffolk. This is one of the oldest towns in the land of mist, as Anglo-Saxons have settled and lived since about the seventh century until now.
As the most populous town in the East Anglia region after Norwich, the two football teams Ipswich and Norwich have a relatively strong rivalry. The clashes between the two teams are affectionately known as the Old Farm derby – due to this area’s long-standing strength in agriculture.
