The Suffolk-born singer, who sponsors the club’s shirts, filmed getting up early in Miami, USA, to join the Tractor Boys’ celebrations. Ipswich Town secured its unexpected promotion back to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years after winning 2-0 against Huddersfield during Saturday’s home game at Portman Road.
In a call to the players, Sheeran can be heard inviting them for a celebratory shindig when he returns to the UK on Wednesday. He humorously mentioned that the need to earn the money to pay for his sponsorship was keeping him away until then. On Instagram, Sheeran expressed his excitement: “Back to back promotions for @ipswichtown. Very emotional.
It wasn’t that long ago I was sat at Portman Road watching them lose in League One with 11k people watching. This is huge for the club, huge for the town, and huge for football, showing anything can happen with belief and passion. Congrats to all the players, people at the club, and of course super Kieran. Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate, but we don’t want another betting company as the sponsor next season, eh? Uppa town. Emotional. See you in the Prem”. Ipswich’s return to the topflight marks the first time since 2002, and Ed Sheeran’s involvement adds an extra layer of excitement for fans and players alike.
In addition to this recent celebration, Ed Sheeran has been actively supporting his beloved Ipswich Town. He joined the dressing room celebrations after their 3-0 Championship win over Hull City, and he was even spotted pulling pre-match pints for fans at Portman Road. The global music superstar surprised locals at The Rumburgh Buck near Halesworth, Suffolk, attending a friend’s birthday celebration and ensuring he didn’t miss his team’s 2-2 draw against Birmingham City.
Ed Sheeran’s passion for Ipswich Town is evident, and his involvement in celebrating their achievements brings joy to fans and players alike. As the Tractor Boys prepare for their return to the Premier League, they can count on Sheeran’s continued support and enthusiasm. 🎉⚽🎤
