LIBERO football finance AG announces its nomination for the Investment Excellence Award 2026 in the Innovation in Finance category

LIBERO football finance AG has been informed that, with the LIBERO Exchange, it is on the shortlist for the Investment Excellence Award 2026 in the Innovation in Finance category. The Investment Excellence Award is presented by Wealth & Finance International.

The LIBERO Exchange is a platform for brokering any financing requests a football club may have. On the financing side, Libero has secured not only banks but also credit funds as lenders. Two innovative examples of fund financing – squad financing and a permanent credit line for clubs – are featured on the LIBERO homepage with a brief profile. In summary, the LIBERO Exchange offers the following advantages:

• A diverse range of providers reduces costs for clubs
• Solution to the problem of large loan limits
• Easy formation of financing consortia
• Short-term, qualitative assessment from the LIBERO network
• Quick decisions thanks to new financing providers
• Systematic data provision for lenders
• Standardised rating for football clubs (in progress)

In addition to financing matters, football clubs and club investors can also post all other service enquiries on the LIBERO Exchange.

The CEO of LIBERO football finance AG, Dr Dirk Rogowski, comments: “The nomination for the Investment Excellence Award 2026 in the Innovation in Finance category was a huge, positive surprise for us. It once again demonstrates the strength and innovation of our offering.”
