MLS News: Antetokounmpos, Filip Forsberg join Nashville SC ownership group

Giannis Antetokounmpo — along with his three brothers — and Filip Forsberg all became part owners of Nashville SC.

Terms of the investment were not disclosed in Thursday’s announcement by the club.

“Soccer is a global sport, and our newest owners once again reinforce our club’s commitment to being a global team,” Nashville principal owner John Ingram said in a statement. “Filip and Giannis are not just amazing athletes — they are ambassadors for their respective sports, role models for millions and advocates in their hometowns and worldwide.”

Forsberg, 28, is in his 11th season with the hometown Predators and is the top scorer in franchise history.

Antetokounmpo is joined by his brothers Thanasis, Kostas and Alex in the venture, which they see as a salute to their father, Charles, who played professional soccer in Nigeria and Germany. Their father died in 2017.

“I know he’ll be so proud of us today, that this is happening,” Thanasis Antetokounmpo said about his father. “It’s not just the investment part of it. There’s a part of it that’s a legacy, that for us. It’s for generations to come that we’re part of this.”

Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry also has a minority stake in the soccer club, as do Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth.
