Portfolio
Warta Poznań
Founded in 1912, Warta Poznań is one of the oldest football clubs in Poland, and a founding member of the country’s top league, the Ekstraklasa. As well as strong on-pitch performance, the club is committed to social and sustainability impact, including through its youth academy, community partnership and its highly successful men’s and women’s amputee teams.
Escalada is one of a very small number of US investors in Polish football. We bring the expertise of our collective to advise and support Warta’s club leadership as they build a future of both sporting success and community impact.
Cagliari Calcio
Founded in 1920, Cagliari Calcio is the only professional football club on the island of Sardinia, and the club with the highest percentage of years participating in Serie A outside of the original founding clubs.
The Rossoblù made history in 1970 by becoming the first club south of Rome to win the Serie A title (“Scudetto”), led by legendary striker Gigi Riva. The youth “Primavera” team won the 2025 Coppa Italia domestic competition and the club has a deep history of community initiatives and social outreach.
