As John Textor announced last Saturday, one hundred million dollars must arrive in the coffers of Eagle Football before the listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Part of this sum will come from UCEA Capital Partners as described Thursday evening by the holding company of the owner of OL.

He spilled the beans last Saturday during his presentation to OL followers. If he had taken care to hide the names of the investors with a large black rectangle, John Textor had detailed the upcoming IPO plan for Eagle Football Holding on the New York Stock Exchange. As part of this future movement, a sum of one hundred million dollars was to arrive shortly as a pre-introduction. A week after passing before the DNCG, Eagle Football communicated Thursday evening on part of this sum.

Introduction planned for early 2025

An initial investment of $40 million as part of a $100 million pre-IPO financing round was made by UCEA Capital Partners. “Eagle Football has reached an exciting inflection point, and this funding brings us closer to our IPO ambitions, John said. WeaverPDG d’Eagle Football. We are delighted to have the support of such a respected investor as we implement scalable entertainment and technology strategies to complement our network of global football clubs.”

With this first payment which had been put forward in the file of theOL in front of the DNCG, Eagle Football Holding takes a further step in its ambition to join the New York Stock Exchange. This introduction is planned for the beginning of 2025.
