Estrella Football Group, the world’s first horizontal multi-club ownership (MCO) organisation, has officially launched its new podcast, now available on YouTube and Spotify. The podcast offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Estrella Football Group was founded, how it acquired its first football club, and how it is pioneering a new model for football ownership.

In this debut episode, Estrella Football Group shares its story for the first time: from the initial acquisition that sparked the creation of the horizontal MCO concept, to the ongoing journey of acquiring the next club. The podcast explores why Estrella believes the traditional football ownership model is no longer sufficient, and how a horizontal structure can help clubs become more resilient, sustainable, and globally relevant.

The episode dives into how football clubs can reduce their dependence on short-term sporting success and incidental transfer income by building stronger brands, sustainable business models, and deeper global fan engagement. It also provides rare insight into what it truly takes to buy football clubs and build a multi-club organisation from the ground up.

The podcast is hosted by Xander Czaikowski, CEO of Estrella Football Group and former CEO of PEC Zwolle, where he led a successful three-year transformation of the club. Joining him in the first episode are:

• David Dwinger, Co-Founder of Estrella Football Group, CEO of Ve2Ventures, and shareholder of 433

• Alessandro Nuccetelli, Partner at Estrella Football Group and former member of Aser Ventures, the group behind the acquisition of Leeds United

Together, they discuss the origins of Estrella Football Group, the vision behind the horizontal MCO model, perspectives on players and club development, and the broader football landscape.

The Estrella Football Group podcast is aimed at players, agents, club executives, investors, and anyone passionate about the future of football. It offers direct access to the people and ideas shaping a new approach to football ownership.
