Summary
- Alexandre Pato's consortium completed takeover of Northampton Town.
- The club will be debt-free following the investment deal.
- New owners aim for ambitious, sustainable club growth.
The ownership of Northampton Town has officially transferred to a consortium that includes former football star Alexandre Pato. Sports Alpha Capital (SAC) finalized their deal, which was approved by the Independent Football Regulator and the English Football League earlier this month. SAC will now hold a 70% stake in the company owning the League Two club.
The transaction ensures that Northampton Town will be debt-free, a significant improvement following a reported pre-tax loss of nearly £3 million in April 2026. The existing owners will retain a 30% shareholding in the club.
In a joint statement, SAC's founders expressed immense pride in becoming custodians of a club with a rich history and a passionate fanbase. They emphasized their commitment to ambitious, sustainable growth and maintaining the club's vital community role.
The new ownership group is eager to engage with supporters and stakeholders in Northampton and the surrounding county. They plan to listen to fan feedback and work collaboratively to help the club achieve its full potential on and off the field, signaling a long-term vision for Northampton Town.
