Avaí board approves Kactus Capital investment proposal | OneFootball

The Deliberative Council of Avaí Futebol Clube overwhelmingly approved the investment proposal presented by Kactus Capital. The decision marks a milestone in the history of the Lion of the Island and paves the way for a new phase of management and investment in Avaí’s football operations.

The Assembly brought together approximately 200 people at Ressacada, including council members, club members, and members of the Avaí community, demonstrating the strong interest of supporters and members in the club’s future.

In the vote, 68% of voters expressed support for the proposal presented by Kactus Capital. The matter will now be reviewed at a general assembly of members.

Kactus Capital, an investment management firm with 16 years of experience in the Brazilian market and linked to a major English family office, already maintains a financial partnership with Avaí through transactions that have helped sustain the club’s activities. The investor group also includes professionals from the financial and sports sectors, among them former player Rodriguinho, a two-time Brazilian champion with Corinthians.

In addition to investment in football, the proposal establishes a commitment to settle the club’s historic debts, which currently exceed R$ 300 million.

The commitment agreement also provides for mechanisms to protect the club’s identity and assets. Ressacada Stadium will remain the property of the association, while the SAF will be prohibited from changing Avaí’s traditional symbols, such as its crest, colors, anthem, brand, and nickname. The members’ club will retain one-third of the seats on the SAF’s Board of Directors and Fiscal Council.

Another provision is the possibility of future supporter participation as SAF investors, with at least 10% of the shares to be made available for purchase by Avaí supporters.

After more than three years of debate on the matter, the approval of the SAF represents one of the most important decisions in Avaí’s recent history, as the club seeks to reorganize its finances, strengthen its structure, and increase its competitiveness on and off the pitch.
