Here is all we know about Anas Sefrioui, the businessman with a reported interest in taking over Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday’s 2024/25 Championship season has been overshadowed in recent weeks with developments off-the-pitch.
Danny Rohl’s future at Sheffield Wednesday is up in the air with their being a supposed division between himself and the owner, Dejphon Chansiri.
Chansiri initially was unable to play the Sheffield Wednesday players and a handful of the backroom staff in March, but was able to rectify the issue before a deadline that would have seen the Owls sanctioned with a three-window ban.
Then, Chansiri wrote a letter to Sheffield Wednesday fans that showed his unwavering support for the club, despite issues behind the scenes, but also detailed that he is ‘happy to listen and happy to talk’ to any potential buyers.
One reported candidate to take over Sheffield Wednesday has since emerged…
Who is potential Dejphon Chansiri successor Anas Sefrioui
Recent reports suggest that Anas Sefrioui is interested in acquiring Sheffield Wednesday, and he has the club ‘in his sights’.
Wednesday were subject of interest from America not long ago, but now, it is thought Moroccan billionaire Anas Sefrioui is on the hunt for a project in England.
The Morocco-born 62-year-old is the CEO of Addoha Group, a real estate company. He has made his fortune developing low-cost housing in his home country.
Sefrioui is officially a billionaire, according to Forbes, who estimate his net worth to be 1.6billion USD, as of 2025.
The Moroccan’s networth has fluctuated recently, with it also previously standing at 1.6billion USD in 2012, which then dropped to 1.1billion in 2017, before rising once again to where it is now. Sefrioui is officially the 14th wealthiest person in Africa.
Sheffield Wednesday would need Anas Sefrioui to show ambition if he acquired the club
At this stage, many Sheffield Wednesday fans wouldn’t be too picky when it came to Chansiri’s potential successor, with the majority under the impression that any person or group coming forward will hopefully be doing so for the correct reasons, and will have the capital and ambitions to take the club forward.
With a net worth of 1.6billion USD, Sefrioui certainly has the capital to put the club in the correct direction, if talks over acquiring the club did progress, but it would certainly require plenty of ambition from the top.
Several issues would have to be rectified, whether it’s the short-term concerns of ensuring the future of Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl and several players, or looking to make long-term changes to the club’s infrastructure, which could see improvements to Hillsborough Stadium and/or Middlewood training ground. All of this would be necessary for a successor, and it reflects on just how much unfinished business there has been for the club.
