Sintrense

SAD Ownership and modern era (2024–present)

In July 2024, Nobias European Studios, a media investment firm led by Ricardo da Silva Oliveira, partnered with former Portuguese international footballer Nani to acquire a 95% majority stake in S.U. Sintrense's SAD. The project, launched under the slogan "Sintrense SAD, Rumo ao Topo" (Sintrense SAD, Heading for the Top), aimed to transition the club into the professional leagues for the first time in its history. During the 2025–26 season, Sintrense achieved notable cup success, eliminating professional side Rio Ave to reach the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal, where they were eventually knocked out by Porto.

In January 2026, the German-based Blue Ocean Group (BOG), founded and led by former RB Leipzig sports coordinator Felix Krüger, acquired a 75% majority stake in the SAD following negotiations with the Nobias group. Under the new agreement, Oliveira and Nani retained a reduced minority shareholding. The acquisition encompassed the men's first team, the B team, and the women's team, with an added option to integrate the club's youth academy structure. Inspired by the recruitment and organizational methodologies of the Red Bull football group, Krüger took over as president of the SAD alongside a new management structure, including former Paris Saint-Germain and UEFA official Dionny Macedo as director of operations and Tom Worville as director of scouting.
