NFL legend Tom Brady is making headlines once again, but this time it's not for his appearance at Jeff Bezos' wedding. Instead, the seven-time Super Bowl champion sparked widespread speculation after sharing a cryptic message on his X account, teasing a major announcement related to English football club Birmingham City F.C., where Brady holds a minority ownership stake.

Birmingham City F.C., a club currently working its way back to prominence, made headlines during the 2024-25 season by capturing the Football League One title, the third tier of English football. The Blues achieved an unbelievable mark of 111 points, surpassing the 92 points achieved by Wrexham United, a team that is owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Now, the Brady-part-owned club will compete in the EFL Championship, aiming for a long-awaited return to the Premier League, a level they haven't reached since the 2010-11 season, when they finished second-to-last with 39 points.

How Tom Brady Became Involved with Birmingham City F.C.

Since retiring from the NFL, Tom Brady has remained active in the sports world, acquiring a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and expanding into soccer by purchasing a minority share of Birmingham City F.C.

Brady entered a partnership with the Birmingham Knighthead Capital Management LLC to become the chairman of the advisory board at the club, last 3 of August of 2023. Brady has shared his experience with the team, his mindset to overcome difficult scenarios, and to work with the department of science of the sport to advise about the recovery of the players.

With the team, Tom Brady has played a role in helping Birmingham City return to the EFL Championship after spending a year in the third tier of English football. The club's promotion marks a key milestone in its broader efforts to reclaim a place among the top ranks of British football.

The Cryptic Message from the Seven-Time Super Bowl Champion

On Sunday morning, Tom Brady was active on social media. He posted on his X account a photo of himself opening a box with a golden light coming out of the chest. The box has the badge of the soccer team, and below it the numbers 6.30.25, letting the people know that tomorrow he will reveal the encrypted message.

Fans have begun speculating about the true meaning behind Brady's cryptic message, and some have concluded that it's about a campaign to unveil the new home kit that the team will wear this season. This is important as well because it shows the compromise of the NFL legend in the soccer world and his participation with the 'Bluenoses'.

Birmingham City F.C. will start its quest to reach the Premier League next August 8 against the recently relegated team, Ipswich Town, in which Ed Sheeran is a minority stakeholder of the team. The game will be held on St. Andrew's stadium, home of the 'bluenoses'.
