QSI Secures Full Ownership of Belgian Club Eupen, Aiming to Revitalize Its Sporting Future

Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), the owner of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) since 2011, has officially acquired complete control of Belgian second division football club KAS Eupen. Previously managed by Aspire Academy since 2012, Eupen has been a developmental hub for young talent. The takeover aligns with QSI's strategic vision to modernize Eupen's sporting and commercial operations, with a strong focus on youth development and infrastructure enhancement.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of QSI, highlighted Belgium's competitive football environment as an attractive market for nurturing emerging talent. He expressed the goal of building a cutting-edge sports structure that fans of Eupen can be proud of. Eupen faces fresh challenges after being relegated to the Challenger Pro League in May 2024, ending an eight-year spell in Belgium's top flight.

This acquisition reflects QSI’s broader commitment to expanding its football footprint beyond PSG, leveraging its experience and resources to develop promising talent within a robust Belgian system. The move is also expected to boost Eupen’s commercial prospects and contribute to its competitiveness in the coming seasons.
