🤑 Historic deal in Liga F: Pau Gasol invests €55m | OneFootball

The Liga F clubs approved this Monday a landmark 55 million euro commercial investment deal with Gasol16 Ventures, the investment vehicle of former basketball player Pau Gasol, in partnership with Fortified Partners. This strategic alliance aims to definitively boost the growth, professionalization, and international expansion of professional women’s football in Spain.

The decision was made during the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assembly, where the project received majority backing from a reinforced two-thirds majority. This deal is now formally established as the largest private investment ever received by a women’s football league in its entire history.

The funds will be disbursed over the next four seasons and will be allocated in full to the development of Liga F’s commercial and operational structure.

In search of sustainability

The main objective of this multimillion-euro plan is to guarantee the consolidation of a long-term sustainable economic model for the competition and its clubs, while also enhancing the international profile of the players. Likewise, during the day, the league highlighted the strong growth in audiences, which now reach 7.5 million viewers (11.2% more than the previous season).

Finally, the league announced that in the coming days it will open the process for marketing the audiovisual rights for the upcoming seasons. Following the historic agreement with Gasol16 Ventures, the Assembly closed the session with the official approval of the budget for the 2026/2027 season.
