Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) are majority-owned by the investment company ENIC Group, which itself is controlled by the Lewis family trust, with the remainder held by minority shareholders including the Levy family trust.

Who owns Spurs Football Club?

In simple terms, Spurs are not owned by a single individual but by a corporate structure centered on ENIC Group.

ENIC holds roughly 86–87% of Tottenham Hotspur’s shares, making it the clear majority owner, while about 13–14% is owned by a range of minority investors.

Key ownership facts

  • ENIC Group is the majority shareholder in Tottenham Hotspur, with around 86.58–87% of the club.
  • The Lewis family trust owns the dominant share of ENIC (a bit over 70%), giving the Lewis family effective control of the club via ENIC.
  • The Levy family trust owns roughly the remaining 30% of ENIC, giving it a significant but not controlling influence.
  • A small group of other shareholders collectively holds the remaining 13.42% of the club outside ENIC.

Mini timeline and recent context

  • Joe Lewis founded ENIC and built up the controlling stake in Spurs over many years, later placing control in a family trust.
  • Daniel Levy, long associated with Spurs as chairman and a key ENIC figure, retains his financial stake in ENIC but has stepped back from direct day‑to‑day club roles, with reporting in 2025 noting his resignation as chairman while keeping his shareholding.
  • In 2025, ENIC (via the Lewis family trust) injected about £100m into the club to support long‑term sporting and financial plans, underlining that the current owners view Spurs as a long‑term project and publicly insist the club is “not for sale” despite outside interest.
