Powerleague

Powerleague (known as Lucozade Powerleague for sponsorship reasons) is an operator of small sided football artificial pitches with 45 football centres in the UK and Ireland and based in Paisley.

In 1987 Keith Rogers opened the world’s first 5-a-side football centre in Paisley under the brand name of Pitz, which was rebranded Powerleague upon its sale in 1999. Rogers went on to run Goals Soccer Centres.

In 2008 Powerleague took over the Soccerdome centres from JJB Sports.[1]

In 2012 there were plans for Powerleague to take over Goals, but these were abandoned.[2]

Finances

In 2013 Powerleague's revenues were £29.7 million.[3]

Ownership

Since 2009 the business is majority owned by Patron Capital.[4]
