KSI for Britain's Got Talent 2025 / ITV
Social media star KSI has bought a 20% stake in EFL football club Dagenham & Redbridge.
The London side – formed in 1992 – are currently mid-table in National League South, the sixth tier of English football, with only an outside chance of promotion this season.
KSI has a track record of being involved with sporting ventures, having formed his own boxing promotional company Misfits Boxing and becoming president of the UK version of the six-a-side football competition the Baller League.
In a statement, KSI told the Dagenham & Redbridge website: “I’m so excited to start this journey. It’s gonna be a rollercoaster for sure but I hope to bring Dagenham and Redbridge back to the glory days. And once we reach that point, I want to go even further.
“Reaching the Premier League would be a dream. And I believe it is 100% doable. It will take a long time, so to the Daggers fans, please be patient. I want you to know that I am fully committed to making sure Dagenham and Redbridge is a team that everyone will know worldwide, and will be an exciting team to watch and support.
“I’ve been watching games secretly at home for months on YouTube streams so it feels so good to finally show my support publicly.
“For those of you that are OG fans (Race to Division One), you’ll know that this is a full circle moment for me. This is a really big deal for me and I can’t wait to go to my first game this Saturday against the league leaders, Dorking Wanderers!”
KSI, 32, has a current estimated worth of around £80 million.
