At a Glance

Sporting Clube de Portugal is one of the three largest and most successful football clubs in the Portuguese league. Sporting sought refinancing of an existing debt facility and funding for additional capital expenditure for their stadium. The Company appreciated PGIM’s local presence and experience of working with football clubs in Iberia and, more broadly, Europe, and thus decided to work with us on this transaction.

In 2025, PGIM provided €25 million Senior Secured Notes to Sporting as part of a larger €225 million transaction. The Company was impressed by our relationship-focused approach and our ability to provide speed and certainty of execution in a complex and customized financing structure.

We value the opportunity to have partnered with Sporting on this transaction and look forward to continue building on the relationship and contributing to their ongoing success.
