Mercury 13, a group led by sports entrepreneur Victoire Cogevina Reynal, said they are set to invest $100 million in acquiring women's soccer clubs in Europe and Latin America, starting with England's second division side Lewes FC.

The group includes former players such as ex-England forward Eni Aluko, also a former Aston Villa and Angel City sporting director, and ex-Italy goalkeeper Arianna Criscione.

Lewes play in the FA Women's Championship, which is one tier below the Women's Super League in England's pyramid. They also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals last season, losing to eventual runners-up Manchester United. "Lewes was a clear choice since they represent many core principles of how we believe a women's club should be managed," Cogevina said in a statement on Thursday.

The group said they are also in advanced negotiations to acquire first division teams in Spain and Italy while clubs in Argentina and Uruguay are their next targets.
