U.S based Jabara family are to join the existing group of shareholders in Lincoln City Holdings which owns 75% of Lincoln City Football Club.

The investment will be headed up by Phoenix, Arizona resident Harvey Jabara, an Investment Executive by trade but also a keen sports fan. Harvey is the Managing Member of Olive Management LLC, a family office investment firm, and minority member of the consortium which owns the Major League Baseball team San Diego Padres. He will be joined by his wife Missy and two sons Jaxon and Jensen in HJ-LCFC Holdings LLC.

Harvey Jabara says the Imps fans helped sway their decision " being born and raised in Americas heartland - our family immediately identified with the Lincoln community. Covid did not prevent the passion, warmth and loyalty of Lincoln FC supporters from being innately evident and a primary reason for our interest in this club"

Chairman Clive Nates said, “We are delighted to welcome Harvey, Landon and the Jabara family to Lincoln City Football Club. We are continually on the lookout for like-minded people to join our current group of investors to assist with the ongoing development of the Club financially, and also importantly, contribute their knowledge and acumen”.

“We have been talking to Harvey and Landon for some time now, but right from the initial meetings, it was clear to see we were aligned in our vision and values for the Club. Landon has for some time been assisting his close family friend Harvey on finding the right club to partner. It is great for all that we can also benefit from Landon and his vast experience. I am sure all Imps fans will join me in welcoming Harvey, Missy, Jaxon, Jensen, and Landon to Lincoln City Football Club.”
