King Power Group Reportedly Preparing to Sell Leicester City FC
Thai conglomerate King Power is reportedly planning to divest its ownership of the English football club Leicester City, including all associated assets.
According to a report published by Thai Post on August 12, 2026, the King Power Group is preparing to sell Leicester City Football Club. The potential divestment reportedly encompasses the club and all associated assets currently held by the Thai conglomerate.
For residents and travelers with an interest in Thai business influence abroad, this development marks a significant potential shift in the international footprint of one of Thailand’s most prominent retail and travel-retail corporations. King Power, widely known for its duty-free operations in Thailand, has owned the 'Foxes' since 2010, a period that saw the club achieve historic success in the English Premier League.
While the report indicates that preparations for a sale are underway, several details remain to be confirmed. The official timeline for the transaction, the identity of potential buyers, and the specific valuation of the assets have not been disclosed by the group. As of now, King Power has not released a formal statement confirming the final terms or the definitive completion of such a sale. Observers are waiting for further official communication from the company to clarify the scope of the divestment and its impact on the group's future investment strategy.
