Sports & Entertainment
Development and financing of sports and entertainment assets — franchises and infrastructure, media rights, venues, and sports technology.
Sports & Entertainment is MIG’s fourth operating vertical. It applies the model behind our Agro, Energy and Infrastructure businesses — hands-on, long-term and equity-retaining — to the assets that sit at the centre of how people watch, play and gather.
Many of these assets now look a great deal like infrastructure: long-lived venues that need patient capital to build and modernise, and income from tickets, sponsorship and media that can be contracted years ahead. That is where MIG’s combination of equity, structured finance and operating involvement fits.
The vertical is being built from North America and Europe outward, with our network across the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Africa.
What we invest in.
Venues & infrastructure
Stadiums, arenas, training centres and mixed-use entertainment districts: new builds, redevelopments and modernisation, financed and held for the long term.
Franchises & clubs
Equity positions in professional clubs and leagues, alongside owners and management teams who want a long-term, operationally engaged partner.
Media & rights
Broadcast, streaming and commercial rights, and the businesses that produce and distribute live sport and entertainment content.
Sports technology
Ticketing, venue operations, fan engagement, performance analytics and the digital platforms that link venues, teams and audiences.
How we invest.
- Equity with involvement. We take meaningful stakes and work with management on strategy, capital planning and operations — not passive allocations.
- Structured finance. Qualifying venue and infrastructure projects above USD 100 million may qualify for financing through the MIGCorp Bond™, issued through a dedicated special purpose vehicle.
- Long horizon. Our ownership through Levante Foundation lets us hold through cycles, with no fund term forcing an early exit.
- Local partners. In every market we work with established operators, rights-holders and local sponsors.
