Spanish soccer superstar Samada, who has shone at top clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea, officially announced on Wednesday (20) that he has joined US newcomer FC San Diego as one of the club's new owners. This not only makes him the second player after David Beckham to own shares in an American professional club, but also the first active player to hold this position!
Sammarda, 36, said in a statement that he joined FC San Diego to build an exciting future with his partners and looks forward to helping them achieve extraordinary things. It is worth noting that Somma joined Australian professional football club Western Sydney Wanderers in September this year. He is the first active player to hold a stake in a U.S. professional soccer club, FC San Diego said.
FC San Diego's big boss is Mohamed Wensuya, a businessman from Egypt who also dominates the Danish club Los Charantibans. Commenting on the addition of Samada, Wensuya said: "We are very happy to have Samada as our partner, he is a born winner and shares my soccer philosophy. FC San Diego is reportedly set to join the USL in 2025 and compete on the West Coast.
