Sidley Advises Monarch Collective on Its Debut Overseas Investment Into FC Viktoria Berlin
November 5, 2025
Monarch Collective is a U.S.-based investment fund dedicated exclusively to investing in women’s sports. It also holds minority stakes in three NWSL teams – Angel City FC, San Diego Wave FC, and Boston Legacy.
The German women’s football club Viktoria Berlin was founded in 2022 when a group of six women acquired 75% of the team and it split off from its male counterpart.
The Sidley team was led by Private Equity and M&A partners Björn Holland, Marcus Klie, and Eric Geffner. They were supported by Luisa Lizoain and Ufuk Erdal Genc (Private Equity and M&A); Jörg Fischer, Rachel Kleinberg, Jonathan Westreich, and Corinna Linhardt (Tax); and Christoph Jensen (Global Finance).
