We are delighted to announce that the Smits Family has acquired a 15% shareholding in York City Football Club.
After meeting with a number of interested parties, it became clear that the Smits Family shared our vision, ambition, and long-term commitment to building a sustainable and successful future for YCFC. Their passion for football, business expertise, and belief in what we are creating made them the outstanding choice to join us on this journey.
Led by Marcel Smits, the Smits Family has built a reputation for entrepreneurial success, strong family values, and a genuine commitment to supporting ambitious, community-focused projects. Their investment is about far more than ownership, it is about partnership, shared values, and a belief in the exciting future of this football club.
Together, we are committed to driving YCFC forward both on and off the pitch, investing in long-term success while remaining true to the club’s proud heritage and its incredible supporters.
We couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead and are proud to welcome the Smits Family to the YCFC family.
Welcome aboard, we’re looking forward to an incredible journey together.
