Brazilian Football: A Hotbed for Investment
Brazilian football has increasingly drawn attention from international investors following a 2021 law enabling clubs to transition from member-owned models to traded companies. Major players like City Football Group and Red Bull have already invested in Brazil, securing clubs such as EC Bahia and Red Bull Bragantino. Vasco da Gama, a historic club from Rio de Janeiro, stands as a prime target due to its storied legacy and potential for growth.

Marinakis’ prospective acquisition of Vasco aligns with his previous success in integrating Brazilian talent, including Forest’s signings of Murillo and Danilo.
