History

Perspective
On January 24, 2017, Capelli Sport signed a corporate partnership with the Rochester Rhinos, a United Soccer League team, and their stadium was renamed Capelli Sport Stadium.[6]
On July 1, 2019, Capelli Sport and Danish football club HB Køge announced that Altirs had purchased a 76% stake in the club, taking controlling ownership of both its men's and women's sides.[7]
Since January 20, 2021, Capelli Sport has held 40.1% of the shares of German soccer club MSV Duisburg.[8] In June, Capelli Sport became the official uniform and equipment provider of Heartland Soccer Association, starting in the Fall.[9]
Capelli Sport has equipped various soccer teams, most notably AEK Athens, MSV Duisburg, SV Austria Salzburg and the Lebanon national team.[1]
On March 15, 2023, Capelli partnered with US-based Legends FC for their 2023 season.[10] Capelli Sport will be in charge of the uniform, apparel, and the equipment. Players will also have access to Capelli Sport's European clubs, events, coaching, education, and a players pathways club.[10]
On May 27, 2025, Capelli Sport restructured its ownership in HB Køge to fully separate its men's and women's sides. It then sold 100% of the club's women's side to Ballard Capital, an investment company owned and operated by Angie and Chris Long, owners of the American professional club Kansas City Current competing in the National Women's Soccer League. The acquisition fully separated the women's club's business from the men's club's and parent organization's, both of which Capelli Sport retained.[11][12]
