Kevin Durant Acquires Minority Stake in PSG Through Strategic Partnership with Boardroom Sports Holdings
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), one of the world’s most iconic football clubs and the reigning UEFA Champions League winner, is welcoming a new high-profile investor into its ranks. The club’s majority owner has officially signed a strategic partnership with Boardroom Sports Holdings, the investment firm led by NBA superstar Kevin Durant and longtime business partner and Boardroom CEO Rich Kleiman. As part of the agreement, Durant has acquired a minority ownership stake in PSG.
The partnership marks a major step in PSG’s global expansion, particularly in the United States, where Durant’s cultural and commercial influence runs deep. According to PSG, the collaboration will kick off with joint activations at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, serving as the first of many cross-platform initiatives between the club and Durant’s growing business empire.

A Global Power Move at the Intersection of Sports and Business
This isn’t Durant’s first foray into team ownership. Through Boardroom Sports Holdings, he already holds stakes in MLS club Philadelphia Union and NWSL team Gotham FC, underscoring his commitment to investing in diverse and global sports properties. With the addition of PSG—a brand synonymous with elite football, global star power, and fashion-forward marketing—Durant and Kleiman have firmly planted Boardroom’s flag in the international soccer landscape.
“This partnership with PSG is more than just an investment—it’s a strategic alliance with one of the most forward-thinking sports brands in the world,” said Durant in a joint statement. “We’re excited to support the club’s continued growth, especially here in the U.S., where soccer is entering an unprecedented era of momentum.”
Kleiman added, “PSG has redefined what it means to be a global sports and lifestyle brand. Through Boardroom Sports Holdings, we see immense opportunity to collaborate across media, content, sponsorship, and business innovation.”
Expanding the PSG Empire
The collaboration goes far beyond ownership. As part of the deal, Durant will contribute to PSG’s broader multi-sport strategy, leveraging his own experience in basketball and his influence across multiple markets to fuel PSG’s ambitions in new territories and disciplines.
The club, which already boasts a rich history and a star-studded roster, continues to evolve into a lifestyle brand with massive commercial appeal. With Durant’s involvement, PSG is expected to deepen its footprint in North America, both through live events and original content, tapping into Durant’s media presence via Boardroom, the digital platform he co-founded to tell stories at the intersection of sports, business, and culture.
Boardroom’s Expanding Reach
Boardroom Sports Holdings has quickly become a prominent player in the evolving world of sports investment. What began as a content brand has grown into an influential vehicle for ownership, equity deals, and strategic brand partnerships across soccer, basketball, and beyond.
The PSG acquisition solidifies the firm’s position as a global force, demonstrating how modern athletes like Durant are redefining legacy—not just through championships, but through visionary business moves that blend influence, culture, and capital.
With PSG now a part of Durant’s ownership portfolio, Boardroom Sports Holdings is building a future where sports is not just a game—but a global enterprise.
