Dude Perfect, Stormzy and other famous football club owners!

The famous YouTubers hope to go to Burnley's ground, Turf Moor, for matches this season

If your sports based YouTube channel had more than 59 million subscribers and 16 billion views, what would you do next? Invest in a Premier League side maybe?

Well, that is exactly what the sports and comedy group Dude Perfect have done, as they join Burnley's ownership group.

Friends Coby, Cory, Cody and Tyler created their channel together in 2009 after meeting at college in the US, and have made millions of pounds from their stunts, challenges and sketches.

They hope their investment will introduce a younger audience to the football club.

Burnley - who are nicknamed the Clarets - gained promotion to the Premier League for 2023/24 after winning the Championship title.

Garrett Hilbert from Dude Perfect said: "We've been fans of the Premier League for some time, so we're excited to formalise the relationship with Burnley and hopefully help to introduce a bunch of younger fans to the club."

Of course, the group aren't the only famous faces to invest in a football club - check out some other clubs with rather famous owners...

Stormzy, Wilfried Zaha and AFC Croydon

Stormzy, who grew up in Croydon, will be helping to develop the South London football club

Rapper Stormzy is known for entertaining thousands of fans on huge stages, but in June the musician embarked on a brand new journey.

He agreed a deal to become the co-owner of football club AFC Croydon, alongside his best pal, and footballer, Wilfried Zaha.

The pair, who both grew up in the South London borough and have been friends for a long time, will be taking on the club alongside Danny Young, who is the former head of player care for Crystal Palace.

The non-league team currently plays in the Combined Counties Football League Premier South Division, which is the ninth tier of English football.

Croydon announced contracts had been exchanged with the club's existing ownership and said the trio "will own, operate and develop their childhood hometown football club".

"The three consortium members are excited about developing a community asset in the borough that gave them their own opportunities," a statement said.

This isn't the first time Stormzy has ventured out into the world of football.

Last year, the music star launched a football programme with Adidas to improve diversity in the sport by helping young black people gain experience in important roles off the pitch.

They even made a Disney show all about their journey with the club.

The Welsh side had previously been owned by a group of fans before it was snapped up by the famous pair. The actors were given the Freedom of Wrexham award earlier this year by Wrexham council for the work they've done in the county. This year also saw the team make their way into the Football League after 15 years in the fifth-tier National League.
