"Evidently, Mercury/13 believes there is untapped growth opportunity in Italy. This is backed up by a report published last year by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), which projected the commercial value of Italian women’s soccer to increase from €6.6 million (US$7.16 million) in 2021 to €46.7 million (US$50.67 million) in 2033.
The group’s ultimate goal though will be to forge a global network of women’s soccer clubs. Having now finally got off the mark with its first acquisition, Mercury/13 will look to set an example for other investors to follow."
