VIDEO: Michael B Jordan, New Owner of English Soccer Club, Mobbed by Thousands of Fans Upon His First Visit Since $100 Million Takeover

It’s been around 20 days since Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan invested in the English soccer team AFC Bournemouth. He became the part owner of the team which was officially announced on 13th December. However, he hadn’t been there to meet the tram and see them in action until yesterday.

Jordan became the next Hollywood actor to invest in a soccer team after Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney got their hands on Wrexham. Bournemouth, however, plays in tiers above Wrexham. While Wrexham is in the 4th tier, Bournemouth plays in Premier League.

Michael B. Jordan visited to meet his team and watch the game yesterday. Bournemouth faced Crystal Palace last night and, despite having high possession, they lost.

Fans welcomed Michael B. Jordan

They announced it Michael was arriving at the stadium. However, the team had two consecutive losses, and they desperately needed positive results. Match aside, fans were just happy to see the “nicest guy in Hollywood“.

Fans stood in rows just to get a glimpse of the actor and he didn’t disappoint them as he greeted them while entering the stadium as well as before the kickoff. He came out on the pitch to thank fans and appreciated their support.

However, the team continued their disappointing run and lost the match 2-0. The team conceded two early goals and failed to make any successful shots in the goalpost. They lost their last match against Chelsea, also 2-0. In a few days, they will be playing against Manchester United. It’s hard, but fans must be praying for some miracle.
