A visitor in the locker room

Ed Sheeran, the world-famous British singer, was seen celebrating the promotion of a club in which he is a shareholder: Ipswich Town, from Suffolk. The team achieved promotion to the Premier League after an outstanding campaign in the EFL Championship, where they finished in second place with 84 points, 11 points behind Coventry, who were the top scorers of the season and secured the first promotion spot.

In the locker room, the artist was spotted singing one of his songs alongside the players of the English club; the song, titled "The A Team," alludes to a top-tier team. Ed Sheeran has owned 1.4% of Ipswich Town for two years, when he acquired those shares.

Celebration at Ipswich

The celebration was not limited to the blue team's locker rooms: the streets of Suffolk were adorned with the club's colors as fans celebrated.

The promotion also represents a double achievement for the entity, which had previously moved up from League One to the EFL Championship and now reaches the top tier of English football for the first time since the 2001-02 season.

The next campaign will be the sixth in the club's history in the Premier League.

Double Promotion and Celebration

Sheeran's presence, both in the locker room and at the street celebrations, underscored the connection between the singer and the club, adding a media component to the celebration. The fans celebrated not only the return to the elite but also the continuity of a project that in just a few years achieved two consecutive promotions, consolidating Ipswich Town as one of the most emotional stories in recent English football.

The media and fans documented the celebration, which will keep the attention on the club during the upcoming summer as the team prepares for the challenges of the top division.
