Aston Villa receive minority investment

Aston Villa Women are getting a major boost — the parent club has made a significant investment to elevate facilities, support and ambitions for the women’s side.

  • Aston Villa Women’s club announced a minority investment into the team: Marc Zahr, co-president of investment firm Blue Owl Capital, has become a new investor and will join the board of the women’s team.
  • The investment comes from the club’s parent entity V Sports and signals a strategic commitment to grow the women’s side both on and off the pitch.
  • This move is part of Aston Villa’s broader ambition to strengthen the women’s programme, improving infrastructure, business operations and competitive performance in the Women’s Super League.
  • The announcement follows previous structural changes at the club — including the appointment of a dedicated managing director for the women’s team and allocation of resources for their independent growth.
  • The investment is expected to enhance Aston Villa Women’s ability to attract talent, develop players and elevate their commercial and sporting presence within women’s football.
