"We greatly admire the Dynamo organisation and the rapid success they've had in a leading sports market such as Houston. We look forward to a long-standing relationship with the team and its properties."

Commenting in the statement, Dynamo chief revenue officer Steven Powell hailed his team's "large multicultural and millennial audience", while Dynamo president Chris Canetti added: "We are honoured to be partnering with Roc Nation on a number of our important business ventures going forward. They bring incredible energy, extensive resources, and a powerful network to our organisation. We are confident that they will play a key role in helping us achieve numerous business objectives."
