US EditionDavid Beckham, Gary Neville-led ownership group completes Salford City purchase
- On Thursday, former England internationals David Beckham and Gary Neville finalized the acquisition of Salford City, a League Two club, and now head a new group of owners.
- Their purchase followed Peter Lim's departure as majority shareholder in 2024 and a period of Neville's involvement since 2014 with other Manchester United teammates.
- Salford City, nicknamed The Ammies, ended the 2024-25 League Two campaign in eighth place, just missing out on the play-offs after spending their seventh consecutive year competing in England’s fourth division following their promotion in 2019.
- The group raised about $15-20 million to invest in the club's infrastructure and sporting goals, aiming for sustainability within four to five years, with Beckham stating he will oversee all key decisions.
- The new ownership plans to appoint a CEO with full authority and seek promotion ambitions while maintaining Salford City's community focus and financial stability.
