Mercury 13, a group led by sports entrepreneur Victoire Cogevina Reynal, said they are set to invest $100 million in acquiring women's soccer clubs in Europe and Latin America, starting with England's second division side Lewes FC.
Former FIFA Chief Innovation Officer Luis Vicente and Nancy Hensley, formerly chief of product and marketing at Stats Perform, are also part of the group. In 2017, the club became the first to split its budget and resources equally between the men's and women's teams. "Building a world-class management team and advisory board has been my first order of business. Women's football lacks dedicated executives who can take the business to the next level and transform it into the best asset class of our generation."
