The Nashville SC family is growing. The Nashville Predators’ Filip Forsberg and Milwaukee Bucks two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo joined the team’s ownership group.

The two sports stars are among a new group of owners, which also includes Antetokounmpo’s brothers Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. John Ingram is the team’s principal owner.

Forsberg isn’t the only Nashvillian to invest in the team. Reese Witherspoon, Jim Toth, and Derrick Henry joined as minority owners last year.

If this news got you even more excited to cheer on The Boys in Gold this year, Nashville SC’s next home match is on Saturday, March 11 against CF Montréal.
