Victor Wembanyama Becomes Minority Shareholder in Nanterre 92

Overview

• The club announced his entry into its capital in an official post on X following an interview published by L'Équipe.
• Wembanyama says he wants to help Nanterre grow and have an impact on French basketball, stressing the step is not primarily financial and that no immediate changes are expected.
• The size of his stake and any governance role have not been detailed, with talks having begun last summer with club president Frédéric Donnadieu.
• Donnadieu says Wembanyama’s involvement could be structurally beneficial over time through his profile and connections, calling him the natural first external shareholder.
• He dismissed comparisons to Tony Parker’s executive role at Asvel, framing his contribution as strategic support for long-term projects rather than day-to-day operations.
