Subsidiaries

777 Partners is an American private investment company based in Miami. Founded in 2015, it has acquired several soccer clubs, such as Genoa CFC in Italy, Standard Liège in Belgium, Red Star FC in France, CR Vasco da Gama in Brazil, and Hertha BSC in Germany. It has minority shareholdings in Sevilla FC in Spain and Melbourne Victory FC in Australia. The company owned the London Lions basketball team and had a large minority stakeholding in the British Basketball League (BBL). The company is also a shareholder in low-cost carrier Flair Airlines.

777 has faced lawsuits over alleged non-payments in the United States, and also in Belgium, where a court ruled that its assets could be seized.[1][2][3] It has had aircraft seized in Canada due to alleged non-payment,[4] and its airline Bonza went into voluntary administration in 2024,[5] the same year that the BBL's operating company had its license revoked by British Basketball.[6]
