Leicester City put up for sale
Thai-based King Power Group has announced an offer to sell Leicester City Football Club for more than £200 million (approximately $256 million), after acquiring it in 2010. The offer includes the club’s assets, such as the main team, the women’s team, King Power Stadium, which has a capacity of 32,000 spectators, and the training facility in Seagriff, along with Belgian club Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Leicester City faces significant challenges, having incurred losses exceeding £180 million during periods of relegation between the Premier League and the Championship, despite winning the English Premier League title in 2016 and the FA Cup in 2021. The sale comes after the club dropped to its lowest position since 2009, amid fans’ calls for the owners to step down. The new owner aims to restore the club’s sporting prominence and achieve financial stability, with expectations that the club will be a rare investment opportunity due to its historic success and renowned academy.
