The 38-year-old invested in sports and live entertainment company AEG and has taken 50% stake in the club.

Ibra left LA Galaxy at the end of the MLS season, a club owned by AEG, which also has had a controlling stake in Hammarby.

“Hammarby is a great club, with passionate supporters and a respected history in Stockholm and throughout Sweden,” said Ibrahimovic.
