This week on Portfolio Players presented by E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley, FOS editor-in-chief Dan Roberts sits down with Jeffrey Kaplan, co-founder of Andalusian Sports Advisors and a key player behind some of the biggest team sales in modern sports ownership.
Kaplan unpacks the investment boom reshaping global sports, from private equity’s growing role in leagues like the NFL to the business potential of women’s sports. He shares stories from his involvement in the sales of the Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders, Everton FC, Tampa Bay Lightning and more.
He also weighs in on the evolving NWSL and WNBA business models, the Celtics sale price, David Tepper’s playbook in Charlotte, and how institutional capital is fueling rising valuations across everything from soccer clubs to expansion franchises.
