Snoop Dogg, the hip-hop legend and entrepreneur, has officially joined the ownership group of Swansea City FC.
The Welsh club, once a Premier League regular and now competing in England's second division, announced on Thursday that Snoop is a co-owner and investor. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but the move shines a global spotlight on the resilient underdog that has captured hearts beyond Wales.
“My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City,” Snoop said. “The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me.”
With more than 88 million followers on Instagram, Snoop Dogg brings unparalleled reach. He also helped unveil Swansea’s 2025-26 home jersey last weekend—an early glimpse of the club’s strategy to leverage celebrity partnerships and boost its global brand.
From a business angle, analysts note that celebrity investments can spark spikes in fan engagement and merchandise sales. Swansea’s leadership sees this as a chance to build digital communities and drive revenue on its push for a Premier League comeback.
Earlier this spring, Croatian midfield legend Luka Modric—fresh from his move to AC Milan—joined the ownership ranks. The club’s blend of sporting icons and cultural influencers underscores a modern approach to growth.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and sports fans, this partnership highlights how football is evolving beyond the pitch. It’s a story of ambition, community, and the power of pop culture meeting sport.
As Snoop Dogg steps into his new role, Swansea City FC’s next chapter promises to mix sporting ambition with pop-culture energy, inviting fans worldwide to join the journey.
