NBA superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially joined the shareholder base of the Spanish La Liga club Atlético de Madrid. While the specific size of the equity stake and the total investment valuation remain undisclosed, the move is intended to expand the club’s international brand appeal, particularly within North American markets. The investment follows a corporate restructuring at Atlético de Madrid that includes involvement from the private equity firm Apollo Sports ~~Capital.~~ Capital, which became the club’s majority shareholder in March 2026. The club is currently directing capital toward the Ciudad del Deporte infrastructure project located near the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Gilgeous-Alexander, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and championship winner, will not hold an executive or sporting role within the club. He described the investment as an opportunity to support the club’s long-term commercial and operational vision, noting its history at the highest level of European football. Despite this entry into European football ownership, Gilgeous-Alexander remains focused on his basketball career with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
