Mercury/13, an investment group targeting women's football, agreed to acquire a majority stake in Bristol City Women, a women's association football team, from Hargreaves Lansdown, a UK-based financial services company.

We have always said we would look at investment if it was the right partner at the right time, and I believe now is that time for City Women.
