Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryder Cup hero Rory McIlroy and boxing champion Anthony Joshua are the latest sporting stars to join investment group Otro Capital and their strategic investment in the Formula 1 Alpine Racing team.
In June, Otro Capital announced a significant investment in Alpine Racing worth £164million. Over the last four months, the group has recruited some of the top professionals in the sports industry to join them.
Hollywood actors and joint Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are already involved and, as of today, the group now includes NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, footballers Alexander-Arnold and Juan Mata, McIlory and Joshua.
A statement from Otro Capital read: “The addition of these championship-winning international athletes and sports investors will bolster Otro Capital’s strategic partnership with Alpine F1, combining premium expertise across different areas of the sports ecosystem and driving Alpine F1’s reach to a world of new fans.
“The new investors will help drive global awareness for Alpine F1 and will further complement Otro Capital’s contributions in areas such as media, sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality, commercial rights management, licensing, and merchandising.”
