A professional sports entity in the Azores, combining a football club, youth academy, long-term stadium concession and associated operating infrastructure under one investment platform. Exceptionally low entry valuation for a professional football asset with multiple underlying value drivers.

Youth Academy Included
The acquisition includes the concession of the youth academy, providing control over the club’s player-development ecosystem.

50+ Year Stadium Concession
Long-term operating rights to the principal football ground, with the flexibility to develop additional revenue-generating activities alongside football.

Clear Revaluation Potential
The dossier estimates a promotion investment requirement of approximately €70K, potentially reduced by around 50% through existing state support and sponsorship revenues.

ADDITIONAL VALUE DRIVERS

• Owned player accommodation, generating reported savings of more than €20K per season.
• Club vehicle fleet available for operational use.
• State support and reduced inter-island transportation costs.
• Azores tourism ecosystem offering opportunities for international sponsorship and commercial partnerships.
• Short regional season creating additional time for camps, tournaments, friendly matches, Erasmus programs and other commercial activities.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT & TRADING

A key differentiator is the club’s reported protocol providing a first option on player sales to Clube Desportivo Santa Clara, a Primeira Liga club.

This creates a potential pathway for academy-developed talent into Portugal’s top division and provides an additional long-term value driver through player development and transfers.

Governance, Autonomy and Operating Model

— Presidency of the Football Association: the investor gains access to the Presidency of the Association, placing under their responsibility the entirety of State support, applicable directly to the Club’s capital-injection needs.
— State support for inter-island transport: the Club benefits from the protocols of the Government of the Azores, which keep the cost of travel between islands very low. This support is not only maintained but continues to grow as the Club is promoted, generating ever-greater cost coverage for the investor.
— Autonomy over the concessions: both the Academy and the Stadium are subject to the changes and projects that the investor, as President of the Association, determines — an exclusive autonomy not found in any other project in the sector.
— Activity operating model: training camps, Erasmus programs, friendly matches, concerts and internal tournaments can be run throughout the year, generating direct income and making full use of the Club’s resources thanks to the short season.
— Marketing freedom: the investor will be able to change the Club’s name, build the brand and develop
an entirely new project, should they wish to do so.
