Ollamani, General Atlantic Create Grupo Águilas to Hold Club América and Estadio Banorte

New capital plus data expertise will fund upgrades, with closing subject to shareholder approval plus antitrust clearance.

Overview

  • Ollamani retains majority control with 51% of the new holding, General Atlantic takes 49%, and Emilio Azcárraga Jean remains executive chair.
  • The transaction is based on an enterprise value of about $490 million, with General Atlantic’s stake reported near $240 million.
  • Grupo Águilas will own Club América, Estadio Banorte (formerly Azteca), and adjacent land to accelerate modernization and commercial development ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and scheduled NFL play.
  • Kraft Analytics Group is joining as a strategic technology and analytics partner to elevate data-driven operations and fan experience, without taking equity.
  • Completion still requires approval from Ollamani shareholders and Mexico’s competition authority, and Ollamani has indicated proceeds could support upgrades and shareholder distributions.
