Aston Villa Women are getting a major boost — the parent club has made a significant investment to elevate facilities, support and ambitions for the women’s side.
- Aston Villa Women’s club announced a minority investment into the team: Marc Zahr, co-president of investment firm Blue Owl Capital, has become a new investor and will join the board of the women’s team.
