The crossover between football and cricket has taken place once again. And this time, a football player has decided to get the ownership of a team in The Hundred. Jude Bellingham has acquired 1.2% ownership stake of The Hundred team, Birmingham Phoenix.

The Hundred has been on the headlines yet again, and this time it is due to the crossover between football and cricket. This is not a collaboration between the two sports as the popular personalities of these sports met. It happened as a football personality decided to become an owner of a team.

The Hundred had put up its teams on sale, and several investors decided to come to the staking process. One of the surprise investors in them came out to be Jude Bellingham, one of the most popular football athletes. Birmingham Phoenix is now having the name of Bellingham in their ownership roles, as he has acquired a stake in the team.

According to the reports, Jude Bellingham has acquired a 1.2% stake in Birmingham Phoenix recently. This acquisition is of approximately 1 million euros, making it one of the high-profile purchases made by the footballer lately. It remains to be seen how things go for the team's popularity, knowing the fact that Bellingham is a lot popular among the fans.

Our Take

The acquisition of Birmingham Phoenix’s 1.2% stake is a high-profile one by Jude Bellingham. It not just announces a collaboration between the two sports, it also brings opportunities for the Hundred to grow as a team. If Bellingham is able to bag huge returns from the tournament, it might even indulge the other footballers to acquire stakes in popular teams of the tournament. It would further help in the growth of the league, and promoting the game with the help of the other.
