Sheffield FC receives new investment

EVO-STIK League East Division side Sheffield FC has agreed terms with a new investment partner, that will take shares and a place on the club's board.

LSG Sports, an investment consortium led by Marco Fabbricini and the Leoni Sceti family, will become a shareholder in this historic club, and Patrick Leoni Sceti will join the board as a director. LSG’s investment will help the club secure its future as the home of grass roots football by helping it develop its brand and marketing materials, as well as bolstering its performance on the pitch with a boost in funding for its facilities and future player development.

Richard Tims, Chairman of Sheffield FC, commented: “Over 150 years, Sheffield FC has built its heritage on the back of its strong principles of integrity, respect and community. It is crucial that all our partners share these, and it was clear from the beginning that LSG Sports did.

We look forward to working closely with LSG, having led the way in the development of modern football, we are very excited to have secured our future at the heart of the sport.”

Marco Fabbricini, Director of LSG Sports, added: “Grassroots football runs through our veins, we are first and foremost lovers of the game. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be associated with one of the true pioneers of this great sport.

Grassroots football, and the unique sense of community and authenticity that comes with it, has an integral part to play in the modern era. We look forward to supporting Sheffield FC with its aspirations to become something truly special both on and off the pitch.”
