- Billionaire real estate tycoons to invest in Western United
- Allegedly between $ 70 million and $ 100 million
- A-League Club stood for an uncertain future
Western United was saved by billionaire American ownership Tycoons Maciek and Mikhail Kaminski, who have agreed to invest $ 100 million in the controversial A-league club.
The historic deal – reportedly the richest deal in Australian sports history – was announced on Friday.
KAM Sports has paid a figure between $ 70 million and $ 100 million through his subsidiary Kam Melbourne for a controlling interest in Western United and its parent company Western Melbourne Group (WMG).
As part of the sale, Kam Melbourne will help reach WMG’s ambition to build a stadium of 15,000 seats in the basis of United in the western suburb of Melbourne of Tarneit.
But the deal is not just about football -land development at Tarneit was crucial to attract the father -son kaminski duo in their Australian investment.
The important investment could not have come for Western United at a better time – the playing group recently saw their monthly wages delayed with a week and extra financial dramas saw FIFA imposing a long -term transfer ban on the club.

According to News CorpIn March, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) was looking for WMG Football Club and WMG Holdings Co – the two companies that support Western United.
But thanks to the considerable money injection of Kam Melbourne, Western United now seems to have a rosy future.
“After a due diligence process of 12 months and several visits to Melbourne, we are delighted to inject our capital, expertise and passion in the Western Melbourne Group and the accompanying entities,” said Kam Melbourne chairman Maciek Kaminski.
‘This represents our first investment under, and the combination of integrating sport and real estate to have a meaningful impact in the local community in the West has attracted us to this opportunity.
‘We strive to bring financial stability and sustainability to the club and to ensure that it can become one of the leading professional sports organizations in Australia and a strong business partner for the competition.
“This is a project that will provide lifelong benefits and produce our future soccer and Matildas from the western suburbs of Melbourne, and we are fully committed to doing that exactly.”
A-League boss Stephen Conroy added: ‘The current sale of Western United to Kam Melbourne marks an exciting new chapter for the club, the community and Australian football wider.
“With Kam Melbourne’s demonstrated dedication to grow the game and dedication to building the stadium, this partnership offers a new energy and enormous potential for success on and outside the field.”
On the field this season, the men of John Aloisi are comfortably nestled in the top six for the A-League Finals series.
They organize competition champions Auckland FC on Saturday evening in Ironbark Fields from 6 pm, knowing that three points they could see ending as high as second.
