MVV Maastricht is joining forces with the American investment company World Soccer Holdings (WSH), the club reported on Wednesday via the official channels. In total, the investor will acquire 24 of the 100 shares. The other shares will remain in the possession of Stichting MVV, while the Golden share will remain in the possession of Vereniging MVV.
The partial takeover had been in the air for some time, but the club from the Kitchen Champion Division made the news official on Wednesday evening. In addition, WSH has negotiated an option to buy an additional 24 shares. The amount involved in the share transaction is 735,000 euros. The new shareholder structure has been assessed and approved by the MVV Foundation, the MVV Association, RVC and the Board of Directors. WSH will sit on the Supervisory Board with one person.
WSH has in any case committed itself to MVV for the period up to 2026. From the club’s point of view, it was important that the investment company primarily conducts its policy on the basis of the club’s vision. “Magic of Maastricht”, says General Manager Erik Noor. “It was important that the vision was established when the deal was concluded. You notice that MVV is very much alive among the population. MVV is and will remain one of the pillars of the city of Maastricht and its surroundings.”
In the MVV vision, ‘developing’ will become even more central. A vision in which the own Academy plays an important role. “Young people are important, they should be given much more attention. We invest a lot in training, which eventually pays for itself when a transfer takes place. By training youth and offering opportunities in the first team, you create value on the field,” says Noor.
