Aston Villa is owned by the holding company V Sports, which is jointly controlled by two billionaires: Nassef Sawiris, an Egyptian billionaire, and Wesley Edens, an American billionaire asset manager. They acquired the club in 2018, initially purchasing a 55% stake and then taking full ownership by buying out the previous owner, Tony Xia. V Sports owns 100% of Aston Villa, and American investment firm Atairos is a minority shareholder in the group since 2023. Sawiris and Edens serve as co-chairmen of the club. Under their ownership, Aston Villa has re-established itself as a competitive Premier League team, with significant investments in the club's operations and infrastructure.
