July 18 – The owners of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers have assumed full control of English tier-2 club Leeds United after the English Football League formally approved a £170 million takeover by 49ers Enterprises.
The investment arm of the 49ers purchased a 15% stake in Leeds in 2018 and increased that to 44% in 2021. They now have full control after announcing the purchase of Italian majority owner Andrea Radrizzani’s share.
Leeds were relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season.
