Amsterdam, 26 March 2026 – Estrella Football Group today announces its formal intention to invest in Club Atlético Central, the Seville-based club currently competing in the Tercera Federación, Spain's fifth tier. This move signals Estrella’s entry into the Spanish football market, driven by a commitment to supporting the club’s rapid ascent while honouring its unique identity within the heart of Andalusia.

The proposed investment follows a period of initial discussions and preliminary due diligence. The partnership is designed to provide the financial stability and professional infrastructure required for Atlético Central to continue its ambitious sporting trajectory, while maintaining the "neighbourhood" spirit and social values that have defined the club since its founding.

A Modern Club with Historic Values

Since its inception, Club Atlético Central has captured the imagination of Seville by combining a professional sporting outlook with a deep sense of community and tradition. EFG views the club as a "hidden gem" in Spanish football, a project with a modern soul and a clear path for growth.

“Club Atlético Central is one of the most exciting projects in Spanish football today,” said Xander Czaikowski, Co-founder & CEO of Estrella Football Group. “What has been achieved in Seville in such a short time is remarkable. Our intent is not to change the club’s essence, but to provide the resources and global expertise necessary to help them reach the next level of the Spanish league pyramid.”

“We are very excited about welcoming Estrella as a new partner of CAC. Added Jaime Soto Parejo, President of Club Atlético Central*. Not only because of their ability to help take the Club to the next level, but also because their leadership shares the philosophy that defines us: a Club committed to doing things differently and setting no limits on its ambitions, guided by respect and passion. Soñar es gratis… so let’s keep dreaming together.”*

Strategic Pillars of Development

Estrella’s involvement will focus on several key areas to ensure long-term sustainability:

• Digital Innovation & Brand: Modernising fan engagement through digital platforms and storytelling to expand the club’s reach both domestically and internationally.

• Operational Excellence: Implementing professional governance and commercial strategies that favour long-term resilience over short-term gains.

• Sporting Growth & Infrastructure: Enhancing recruitment networks and training facilities to support the first team’s push for promotion.

• Youth & Academy Pathways: Strengthening the youth setup to ensure Atlético Central becomes a primary destination for local talent in the Seville region.

“We recognise that Atlético Central is a club built on friendship, hard work and a distinct Seville identity,” added Czaikowski. “Our multi-club-ownership model is built on the principle of local autonomy supported by centralised expertise. We want to help Club Atletico Central write the next chapter of its history.”

Further updates regarding the finalisation of the investment and the upcoming sporting roadmap will be shared in the coming weeks as the formal due diligence process concludes.
