SWANSEA, Wales (AP) — Snoop Dogg has become a "co-owner and investor" of Welsh soccer club Swansea. The former Premier League club, which plays in the English second division, didn't disclose financial details in Thursday's announcement, which shines a spotlight on yet another unheralded team from Wales afterWrexham's well-documented journey. "My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City,"the American rapperand entertainment icon said in the announcement. "The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me," he added. "This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me." Snoop Dogg, who has more than 88 million Instagram followers, helped launch the team's 2025-26 home shirt last weekend. The club ownership group added: "To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile."
