Renowned musician and actor, 50 Cent, has stepped up to sponsor the under-14s girls' football team, AFC Rumney, in Cardiff, Wales. The sponsorship deal was initiated through a connection between the rapper and the father of one of the players, who collaborated during a tour. Thrilled with the support, Richie Brown, the coach of AFC Rumney's under-14s and under-17s girls' teams, expressed gratitude to 50 Cent for the sponsorship.On the club’s Facebook page, Brown said: “We feel absolutely over the moon that our u14s Girls have been sponsored by World Known Superstar Actor / Music Producer Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson and G Unit.”

The sponsorship includes providing the players with a new away kit and club tracksuit bearing 50 Cent's name and G Unit logo across the front, to be proudly worn during the upcoming season. This endorsement signifies a significant boost for girls' football and reflects a growing trend of A-listers supporting Welsh football clubs.

Brown continued: “Thank you so much for your support, also a massive thank you to John Hall for securing the sponsorship for us. I’ve been involved in girls’ football for almost 10 years now so I’m promoting it this side, trying to do the best I possibly can, and when you’ve got someone as high profile a name as him, you just know he’s going to take it to the next level.”

This move by 50 Cent follows in the footsteps of other celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who purchased Wrexham AFC in 2020, marking a significant intersection of entertainment icons with the football scene in Wales.
