After the Kingdom of Bahrain (20%), the Anglo-Sri Lankan entrepreneur Allirajah Subaskaran, founder and president of Lyca Group (10%), Paris FC welcomes a third foreign investor in its capital for also 10%.
As we had announced, it is indeed an Armenian group.
This Friday morning, Paris FC formalized the arrival of the Noah Football Group owned by investors from Armenia and represented by Roman Gevorkyan who has joined the Board of Directors.
The Noah Football Group is already the majority shareholder of the clubs of Noah FC (Armenian D1), Siena (Serie C Italy).
His arrival will also be accompanied by the arrival of a new sponsor.
According to our information, it is the sports betting operator Vbet, which has also partnered with AS Monaco since this season.
“We are particularly sensitive to the development of the training center and the emergence of young talents from the region.
Paris FC has a great plan to move up to Ligue 1 and also has a goal of qualifying for the Women's Champions League for the club's women's team.
Our arrival has, in particular, the objective of supporting this ambitious project”, underlines Roman Gevorkyan in a press release.
Pierre Ferracci remains majority
In the race to move up to L1 (2nd one point behind Toulouse), the club from the capital therefore continues to open up internationally.
President Pierre Ferracci, rather than selling his club to a single investor, is pursuing his strategy of bringing in new financial resources, while maintaining 57% control of the club.
“This new arrival reflects the club's desire to be part of a continuity of international development.
The desire to train young talents is a common base between Paris FC and the clubs owned by the Noah Football Group, welcomes Ferracci.
As I have always announced, Paris FC will have an international, national, but also regional round table.
