This Montreal businessman wanted to do something for the region he came from. So he bought a stake in a European soccer team.
The Campobasso 1919 soccer team rose out of the ashes of a franchise in financial distress. It is currently playing in the Italian fifth tier but the new ownership group is dreaming big.
"And I fell in love with the sport," Pasto said. "We thought about making an investment in a small team."Then one day he was watching a local multicultural TV channel and saw an interview with Matt Rizzetta, founder and chairman of North Sixth Group which has investments in marketing, media, technology, sports and entertainment.
Montreal businessman Angelo Pasto is proud of his Italian roots and he's now a minority owner of a soccer team in the region he came from. After a series of court hearings, the club was declared ineligible for Serie C and Serie D for the 2022-23 season. Actor Mark Consuelos, left, and his TV host wife, Kelly Ripa, right, are also part of the ownership group through their involvement with North Sixth Group. They flank Matt Rizzetta, the majority owner of Campobasso 1919.
Pasto's company is one of Campobasso's sponsors with its logo on the back of the team jerseys. Rizzetta's company became the front jersey sponsor.channel to show games live as well as highlights and post-game interviews. The hope is the new team will help shine a spotlight on the region of Molise — whose capital is Campobasso — and get Italian expats around the world who have roots in the area to follow the club.
