Will Ferrell, the famous Hollywood actor, is eagerly planning his first trip to Wembley Stadium if Leeds United manages to reach the Championship play-off final. Last week, it was revealed that Ferrell had made a significant investment in 49ers Enterprises, the American company that owns the club. A source has now disclosed that the Elf star, aged 56, will fly to London for the match on May 26th, where the winners will secure promotion to the Premier League, but only if Leeds United is among them.
Leeds United’s journey to the final hinges on their performance against Norwich City in the semi-finals. The first leg will be held away at Carrow Road today, followed by the second leg at Elland Road on Thursday. The source further revealed that Will Ferrell has already developed a strong passion for football and has attended several matches in the UK before. However, a visit to Wembley would be an entirely new experience for him, and he would be thrilled to witness the pinnacle of English football if Leeds United manages to overcome Norwich City.
It’s worth noting that Will Ferrell is not a stranger to football ownership, as he is already a co-owner of Los Angeles FC. His involvement in Leeds United has been welcomed by the club’s manager, Daniel Farke. Farke expressed his appreciation for Ferrell’s support, stating that every individual’s contribution is valuable to the team’s success. He also acknowledged that Leeds United has a multitude of well-known and popular supporters, highlighting the prestigious reputation of the club.
While Ferrell’s investment and presence have undoubtedly generated excitement among fans and players alike, Farke emphasized that ultimately, it is up to the players to secure victory on the field. He humorously stated that they cannot “act the ball over the line” and need to focus on shooting it into the back of the net. This remark highlights the importance of skill and performance rather than celebrity involvement in achieving success.
Will Ferrell’s interest in Leeds United and his potential presence at the Championship play-off final injects excitement into the club’s journey. His investment not only demonstrates confidence in the team but also elevates the stature of the club itself. However, it is crucial to remember that success ultimately lies in the hands of the players, who must deliver exceptional performances on the pitch. With the determination of the team and the support of passionate fans, Leeds United aims to secure a place in the Premier League and create a memorable experience for their supporters, including Hollywood star Will Ferrell.
