Amazon's CEO joins Liverpool's ownership. Why are Americans investing in European clubs?

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 08:40

Amazon's CEO joined Liverpool's ownership, according to the reported information. The article raises questions about why American investors are betting on European football clubs.

The text questions what they see in Europe that they cannot find in the United States, where sports generate more money. This is one of the central questions the article raises about this investment trend.

The article states that US investors already control more than half of the English league, which demonstrates the growing interest of American capital in European football. The trend is established, but the article leaves open whether this is a phenomenon that will continue.

Why this matters

This trend directly affects Portuguese and European fans, who see their traditional clubs being acquired by American groups with potentially different commercial priorities. The article comes following recent investments by tech magnates in European clubs, signalling a shift in European football ownership with implications for club identity and management.
