The
owners of Leicester City Football Club have completed the purchase of the King
Power Stadium in a deal believed to be worth about £17 million. The stadium had
been owned by an American pension fund manager. Aiyawatt

always been part of our long-term vision to put the stadium back where it
belongs, into the hands of the Football Club. Our plan is to bring long-term
sustainable success to Leicester City Football Club. Purchasing the stadium was
always a key element in this plan."
