Multi-club ownership group co-founder Victoire Cogevina Reynal has left Mercury13, five months after taking over Bristol City Women.<\/b><\/p>\n

Reynal helped form Mercury13 in 2023 and they acquired a controlling stake in Italian Serie A Femminile club Como Women a year later.<\/p>\n

They did the same at Bristol City in September 2025, in a deal described as “pivotal” for the WSL 2 club’s future.<\/p>\n

The group, who have pledged to invest more than \u00a380m buying and transforming women’s clubs around the world, attempted to takeover Lewes FC Women in 2023.<\/p>\n

Mercury13 have been led by businesswoman Reynal – an American-born London-based entrepreneur and United Nations ambassador for gender equality in football – alongside Mario Malave.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on social media on Wednesday, Reynal said: “Today marks the end of my chapter at Mercury13.<\/p>\n

“From the start, Mercury13 was rooted in a mission to accelerate the commercial recognition of European women’s football and unlock its full potential.<\/p>\n

“I built this company to demonstrate what is possible when the women’s game is approached with conviction, innovation, and long-term belief.”<\/p>\n

She described her time at Mercury13 as “the privilege of my lifetime” and believes the “game is in a better place” following their investment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
