Maya Jama proudly supported her boyfriend Stormzy as the non-league side she co-owns earned a historic play-off tie on Tuesday.

Heading to Redding Way to watch the action unfold, the 29-year-old Love Island host was spotted in the stands during the Combined Counties Premier League South Play Off Final with AFC Croydon Athletic’s Knaphill FC.

Stormzy bought AFC Croydon Athletic in 2023 in a consortium alongside Premier League star Wilfried Zaha and former Crystal Palace caretaker boss Danny Young.

Both stars grew up near the club’s 3,000-seater Mayfield Stadium in Thornton Heath and made the decision to invest in the club to “do what’s right for the local community”.

It seems the rapper’s investment paid off, and after the game, Stormzy joined the players in the dressing room for more celebrations.

The team showed off their best dance moves while drinking beer, marking one of the biggest successes in the club’s history.

Earlier this week, Stormzy also revealed he is opening a football center with a recording studio in his hometown of Croydon to provide music and sporting opportunities to young Londoners.

The space, from the existing Selhurst Sports Arena, includes football pitches, a sports games room, a conference room and a recording studio that can be used by aspiring local artists as well as for podcasts.

He said: “I have wanted to do this for a long time and now there is a community space that everyone in the area will be able to use and benefit from.

“When I was growing up there wasn’t anything like this for young people so it means a lot that we now have a facility like this in Croydon.”
