Pol-Mot seeks partner in football club Legia Warszawa

Pol-Mot Holding is seeking a partner to invest in football club Legia Warszawa, the Puls Biznesu daily has learned. The group, which is primarily involved in the automotive and real estate sectors, acquired a majority stake in the club in the spring, and hopes to transform it into a profitable enterprise. According to Pol-Mot president Andrzej Zarajczyk, several companies have already expressed an interest in the idea, among them PricewaterhouseCoopers, JP Morgan and HSBC. He added, however, that potential investors may be put off a deal should it prove impossible to purchase the Legia Warszawa ground, which is currently owned by the army.
