Qatari owners of PSG buy Belgian football club
The Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are set to acquire KAS Eupen, a Belgian Pro League football club, from another Qatar state-backed company.
As part of the deal, Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) will take full operational control of the club, including all associated sporting, commercial, and operational assets, with immediate effect.
QSI owns a majority stake in Paris Saint-Germain and a minority share in Portugal’s Sporting Clube de Braga.
KAS Eupen is being purchased from Qatar-based Aspire Zone Foundation (Aspire), which has owned the club since June 2012. The club was founded on July 9, 1945, and plays its home matches at the Kehrwegstadion in Eupen, Belgium.
QSI will prioritise youth academy development, infrastructure upgrades, and enhanced community engagement.
The acquisition is subject to standard regulatory approvals. No financial details were given.
Qatar hosted the 2022 World Cup. Nearly 1.4 million people visited the Gulf nation during the month-long event, which ended with Argentina’s Lionel Messi and France’s Kylian Mbappé going head to head in a dramatic final on December 18.
Attendances averaged about 53,000 a match, according to the Qatar News Agency.
