John Textor's anticipated $2 billion Initial Public Offering (IPO) for Eagle Football Holdings is reportedly on the brink of submission.

Rewritten Article:

Get ready for a game-changing move in the world of football, as Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is reportedly on the verge of filing an IPO for his multi-club group, Eagle Football Holdings. This move is part of a massive $1.1 billion debt and equity recapitalization plan.

Back in November, Textor announced that he had secured an initial $40 million investment, marking a significant step towards his IPO goals. Eagle Football Holdings owns a 40% stake in Crystal Palace, has controlling stakes in French club Lyon, Brazilian champions Botafogo, and Belgian outfit Molenbeek – a diverse portfolio indeed!

However, there was a minor hiccup recently. City AM reported this week that Eagle Football got a strike-off notice from Companies House in the UK for missing the deadline to file accounts. But fear not, insiders claim this was just an oversight during the process of shifting Eagle Football to the US ahead of the IPO, and they're quickly rectifying the situation by submitting fully audited accounts.

The IPO's scheduling was slightly delayed due to market uncertainty caused by President Trump's tariff war, but an SEC filing is now believed to be just around the corner.

Textor shared his excitement about the investment led by UCEA Capital Partners last year, stating, "Eagle Football has reached an exciting inflection point, and this funding brings us one step closer to our IPO ambitions." He further added, "We are thrilled to have the backing of such a respected investor as we execute scalable entertainment and technology strategies to complement our network of global football clubs."

This IPO would be history-making, as it's thought to be the first of its kind for a multi-club group. organizations like City Football Group, Red Bull, and Qatar Sports Investments have already made their mark in the game, and Eagle Football is ready to join the league.

With Palace in the FA Cup final against Manchester City and Lyon in contention to qualify for the Europa League, Textor's clubs could be in for a successful end to the season.

It's been reported by Bloomberg that Eagle Football Holdings is working with investment bank UBS on the IPO, which could value the group at over $2 billion[1]. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this exciting development in the world of football!
