If EQT is approved as an owner by the Australian Rugby League Commission, the venture capital company will join Storm's ownership group on the board.
“Melbourne Storm is an exceptional club with a proud football culture, strong leadership and a deep connection with its supporters and the local community in Victoria,” said Alexander Hansen, EQT’s Asia Pacific Investment Manager for Sports and Education.
The Melbourne Storm have played in 12 National Rugby League finals in their 28-year history and have only missed the playoffs in three of those years in the league.
