The 23-year-old midfielder was at the heart of the festivities as an estimated 150,000 fans packed the streets of Leeds on Monday to celebrate the club’s promotion to the Premier League.
Ampadu, who has been a vital figure in Leeds’ success this season, fully embraced the occasion during the open-top bus parade. Clad in club colours and often seen dancing, singing, and spraying champagne into the crowds, he quickly became a fan favourite not just for his performances on the pitch but for his off-field spirit.
Videos circulating on social media show Ampadu revelling in the moment — waving flags, chugging drinks, and leading chants with supporters. At one point, he commandeered the microphone to belt out fan songs, much to the delight of those lining the streets. His antics didn’t go unnoticed by teammates either, with several players teasing him online about his over-the-top enthusiasm.
After the celebrations, Ampadu took to social media to thank the fans, joking, “Might not remember it all, but what a day. Hangover from hell incoming.” His light-hearted comment quickly went viral among Leeds supporters, who praised his passion and called him a “true white.”
The celebrations marked a significant milestone in Ampadu’s career, having joined the club last summer and quickly establishing himself as a fan favourite. While the team now shifts focus to Premier League preparations, Ampadu and his teammates are sure to remember this day as one of the most joyous of their careers — even if Tuesday morning came with a pounding headache.
