Welcome to part 2 of Twenty First Group’s presentation on investing in football at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit in London, and the three football clubs that as an investor you should be looking at buying today. 

In the first part of Chief Intelligence Officer Omar Chaudhuri’s presentation, we considered the importance of sporting performance on the creation of long-term value for investors. Using a case study to show the expensive consequences of misunderstanding sporting performance, we highlight the significance of conducting sporting due diligence throughout the investment process.  

With this in mind we are excited to share part two and announce three clubs in European football that you should be buying!

Evaluating the market with a sports performance lens can identify clubs who are better positioned than their current position in their league and within the broader footballing pyramid might suggest.

If you would like to find out more about the football club investment process or want to explore investing in a club please get in touch with AJ Swoboda or Omar Chaudhuri.
