The 49ers are hoping the 2025 NFL Draft can help them back towards contention for the ultimate glory and that elusive sixth Super Bowl title, but Jed York already has reason to celebrate this week.
49ers Enterprises, the business arm of the Niners, completed a full takeover of English soccer team Leeds United in June 2023, shortly after their relegation from the Premier League.
Leeds, for whom 49ers executive vice president of football operations Paraag Marathe serves as club chairman, missed out on promotion back to English soccer’s top tier last year, suffering defeat in the Championship playoff final.
