Amsterdam — 22nd of January 2026 — Estrella Football Group, the horizontal multi-club ownership platform focused on unlocking untapped value in lower-league football, today welcomed news that Athvance Capital has acquired a majority stake in ve2ventures — strengthening the sports and media tech ecosystem supporting Estrella’s long-term growth.

The acquisition gives Athvance immediate access to ve2ventures’ venture portfolio — including Estrella Football Group, PadelPlay, and Fly-Fut — and expands the network, operational resources, and strategic expertise available across the ecosystem.

“Estrella Football Group was built to challenge the traditional model and create a smarter, more modern football ownership platform,” said David Dwinger Co-Founder of ve2ventures. “With Athvance joining forces with ve2ventures, we’re not just accelerating one venture — we’re building the foundation for the leading sports and media ecosystem in Europe, and Estrella is a key pillar of that future.”

The combination of ve2ventures’ hands-on venture-building approach and Athvance’s long-term capital and operational experience strengthens everything we’re building — from our execution capabilities to our ability to scale across markets. We’re excited for what’s next.”
