Stryker911 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Alot of talk about US players abroad is that they get more opportunities for various reasons including marketing and ownership. I was trying to find a site that lists Soccer owners by country, but was unable to do so. I only know of a few, but I'm wondering if there are more out there? The ones that I know. Joey Saputo - Bologna - Serie A Jason Neale and Stewart Thompson - 50% of Peterborough United - English Championship Mitchel Goldhar - Maccabi Tel Aviv FC - Isreal Premier League Ryan Reynolds - co-owner of Wrexham FC - English National League Alex Haditaghi - Kavala FC - Super League Greece 2 Edited February 20, 2022 by Stryker911 lamptern, Xavier., Dominic94 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 York United have an owner who’s company has built a decent amount of homes throughout the GTA , hopefully he can figure out away of building a proper decent size and more of a soccer friendly stadium for his team or at least figure out away of making that stadium they play in more soccer friendly.

You would think that since he's able to buy so much land to build homes throughout Ontario, he'd already have been able to get some commercial land somewhere to build a stadium. I mean, he does have the inside track on zoning regulations. Edit: sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread.

An Observer Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Frank Stronach who owns Magna International (and is worth about $3billion) used to own FK Austria Vienna in the Austrian Bundesliga and was also President of that league (which is definitely a conflict of interest).

IT20062021 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Francesco Bellini, was owner of Ascoli calcio (Serie B), from 2014 to 2018. He had declared that his ambition was to bring the team back to serie A and also challenge Bologna/Saputo. i believe he was not getting along with fans and was forced to sell.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Not owners but I didn’t realise until today that Chelsea’s two directors (Eugene Tenenbaum and Marina Granovskaia) are Canadian. Tenenbaum moved to Canada when he was young but not sure how Granovskaia is connected to Canada (she was born and raised in Russia but has Canadian citizenship).

red card Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Drake to own a piece of AC Milan via his stake in Main Street Advisors. Yankees are another owner. Yankees first soccer investment was a 20% stake in NYFC. Redbird Capital bought the club in June (officially become owners on Sept 1st) from Elliot Management. Redbird borrowed US$602 million from Elliot to fund the purchase. So, they were looking to reduce their burden. Redbird has also funded Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports for US$750 million during covid. They got about a 10% stake. They're also majority owner of TFC - Toulouse Football Club or TeFeCe- since 2020. They invested in Toulouse after looking at 80 clubs in 13 leagues and visiting 50 over 4 years. If you're looking for a ligue 1 club to support besides Lille, Athletic had a 2-parter just recently: https://theathletic.com/3526081/2022/08/24/toulouse-inside-a-football-club/ https://theathletic.com/3526088/2022/08/25/transfers-data-market-toulouse/ johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
