Bridgepoint in race for Infront Sports & Media

The buyout house is facing competition from the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), which recently acquired French football club Paris Saint-Germain from Colony Capital. Infront Sports & Media is reportedly worth in excess of €600m.

Bridgepoint is no stranger to the sports business, having acquired a majority stake in Spanish sports management company Dorna Sports in 2006, for an estimated €345m.

Zug-based Infront Sports & Media employs more than 500 employees in 20 offices across 10 countries. It notably sold media rights for the 2002 and 2006 football world cups, and currently handles Fifa's rights in Asia.
