Liverpool to sell minority stake to 1892 Holdings consortium including Jeff Bezos

The 1892 Holdings consortium, spearheaded by former Queens Park Rangers chairman Amit Bhatia, has announced a new partnership that brings Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s K5 Sports Fund into its fold. The move expands the consortium’s reach in the football investment arena, positioning it to pursue opportunities across the sport’s commercial and sporting sectors.

Bhatia, who has overseen QPR’s strategic initiatives for several years, will coordinate the consortium’s activities, while K5 Sports Fund is expected to contribute both capital and industry expertise. The collaboration signals a growing trend of cross‑industry investment in football, with private equity and high‑profile sports funds seeking to capitalize on the sport’s global fan base and revenue streams.

The partnership is slated to commence operations in the coming months, with the consortium targeting clubs and assets that align with its long‑term growth strategy. Stakeholders anticipate that the combined resources of 1892 Holdings and K5 Sports Fund will enhance the consortium’s ability to secure high‑profile deals and deliver value to its investors.
