Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has bought an ownership stake in the MLS club Sporting Kansas City, according to ESPN’s Adam Teicher.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to join Sporting Kansas City’s ownership team and strengthen my connection to the fans and the city I love,” Mahomes said in an official statement. “Sporting is a community-oriented club, and I am excited to continue supporting the growth of soccer in Kansas City.”
“Patrick is a tremendous ambassador for Kansas City and we are delighted to welcome him to the Sporting Club ownership group. In addition to achieving excellence on the field, he is deeply committed to giving back to the community and elevating the sport of soccer” Sporting Kansas City’s principal owner, Cliff Illig added. “Patrick is also accustomed to cultivating a winning culture, and we look forward to contending for championships at Children’s Mercy Park well into the future.”
It’s yet another venture that Mahomes has gotten involved in, including last year when Mahomes bought into the ownership group of the Kansas City Royals.
