Historic deal: Emilio Azcárraga sells part of Club América | OneFootball

There are ongoing developments at Club América, and after it was revealed a few years ago that they were separating from Grupo Televisa to operate as an autonomous club, a new agreement has now been announced to sell 49% of the shares of Club América and Estadio Banorte.

Through a statement, Grupo Ollamani, owners of Club América, revealed that they have reached an agreement with General Atlantic, owners of the NFL’s Patriots, to sell them 49 percent of the team, along with Estadio Banorte and even adjacent land to the property.

This means that General Atlantic becomes the second owner of Las Águilas, and will help the team continue to grow in sporting terms. They will seek to further modernize Estadio Azteca and will be fully involved in everything related to the club’s two main categories.

It should be noted that Grupo Ollamani will continue to hold the majority of shares (51%), so they will keep making the decisions, and the first is that Emilio Azcárraga will be the executive president of ‘Grupo Águilas’ to guarantee continuity in the project.

Everything is already arranged; all that remains is for the shareholders’ assembly and the National Antitrust Commission to approve the deal so that General Atlantic can begin working with Club América.

Is this good or bad news?

This is excellent news for the team, as the brand’s value will increase, which will mean a larger budget to sign players for upcoming tournaments.

Furthermore, it won’t just be Grupo Ollamani interested in the team’s success—General Atlantic will be fully committed to helping in every aspect.
