Moroccan billionaire Anas Sefrioui is reportedly exploring a potential acquisition of English football club Sheffield Wednesday.

The 67-year-old property magnate, who is among Africa’s wealthiest individuals, has hired a legal team to identify opportunities in English football, with the storied Championship side emerging as a primary target.

Sefrioui made his fortune through property development and is known for large-scale real estate projects across Morocco, particularly in affordable housing.

His estimated net worth places him as the 14th richest man in Africa, with extensive business interests and a growing appetite for investment in sports.

Current Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has publicly expressed his intention to sell the club to a credible buyer who can guide the team forward.

Chansiri, who took over in 2015, has faced increasing pressure from fans amid financial difficulties, including delays in player wages and sanctions that have affected the club’s transfer activities.

These issues have led to growing calls for new leadership to bring stability and renewed ambition.

The interest from Sefrioui adds to a list of reported suitors eyeing the Yorkshire-based club.

At least three other groups, including investors from the United States and the United Kingdom, are believed to have shown interest in acquiring the club, although no formal bids have yet been confirmed. Discussions remain at an exploratory stage, and the outcome of any negotiations remains uncertain.

Sheffield Wednesday, a club with a rich history and a dedicated fan base, has endured a challenging period on and off the pitch.

Supporters are hopeful that new ownership could provide the investment and strategic direction needed to rebuild the team and restore its competitive standing.
