Competition 

The Company competes in the nascent category of innovative social-impact football, and as such, we believe its world-leading business initiatives and emerging models transcend the historical sport team metrics of match attendance and player transfer fees. As a result, we do not believe there is any single market for which we have a well-defined group of competitors. The key metrics will be corporate, government and foundation sponsorships and grants; merchandising, both domestic and international; youth football academy fees and participants; player transfer fees; and tournament organization, hosting and sponsorship, among others.

We believe that our closest competitor is City Football Group Limited, or CFG, which is a holding company that administers association football clubs. CFG was founded in 2013 and is owned by three organizations: the Abu Dhabi United Group owns 81%, the American private-equity firm Silver Lake owns 18% and the Chinese firms China Media Capital and CITIC Capital own 1%. CFG derives its name from Manchester City Football Club, or Manchester City F.C., which is its flagship football club and acts as the club’s parent company. Manchester City F.C. is an English football club based in Bradford, Manchester that competes in the Premier League, which is the top level of the English football league system. In addition to Manchester City F.C., CFG owns 16 other clubs: Manchester City W.F.C. (England), New York City FC (USA), New York City FC II (USA), Melbourne City Football Club (Australia), Melbourne City Women’s Football (Australia), Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan), Montevideo City Torque (Uruguay), Girona Futbol Club, S.A.D. (Spain), Girona Futbol Club Femení (Spain), Shenzhen Peng City Football Club (China), Mumbai City Football Club (India), Lommel SK (Belgium), Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne (France), Palermo Football Club (Italy), Palermo Football Club Women (Italy) and Esporte Clube Bahia (Brazil), plus it has four partner clubs, Vannes Olympique Club (France), Club Bolívar (Bolivia), Geylang International (Singapore) and İstanbul Başakşehir (Türkiye). To the Company’s knowledge, City Football Group is not organized to take on funding from the public capital markets and has not attempted an initial public offering of shares and listing on a global stock exchange, such
