Leeds United
Overview
Leeds United is a club that needs no introduction: three-time English champions, the only major club in England's third-largest city, and one of the sport's most loyal fanbases: 27,000 season ticket holders, 96% stadium occupancy, and 26,000 fans still waiting for a seat.
Since taking full control in 2023, 49ers Enterprises has rebuilt the organization from the ground up: sponsorship revenue up fivefold, ticketing income up 40%, and a data-driven sporting model that earned promotion back to the Premier League.
IDC Sports invested alongside the 49ers at the moment of the club's institutional reset, with the Elland Road expansion, from 37,600 to 53,000 seats, making it one of the seven largest club stadiums in England, set to add significant recurring revenue and lock in the commercial economics for the next decade.
