The CEO of Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the Gulf nation, says that they are looking at investing in football clubs but have not yet made up their mind.
With the World Cup in Qatar now over attention has turned to leveraging the success of the competition and pushing ahead with investment plans in sport, with QIA likely to add sporting assets to their $450bn fund over the course of the next 12 to 18 months.
One of those teams that has been rumoured to be in the sights of QIA is Liverpool, with the Reds owners Fenway Sports Group open to offers for the club for both a full takeover and a minority stake depending on the partner.
