Hogan Lovells Riyadh advised on sale of UD Almería Football Club

The transaction was particularly distinctive in that both the buyer’s and seller’s legal advisers were based in Saudi Arabia, underscoring the growing sophistication and international reach of the Kingdom’s transactional market—especially within the sports and entertainment sector.

The Hogan Lovells team was led by Riyadh-based partner Turki Al-Sheikh, with support from senior associate Hala Almoammar and associate Ghaida Albuainain. Additional support was provided by Madrid-based counsel Alejandro Moscoso del Prado (Tax) on local law and regulatory aspects of the transaction.
