"This is a pivotal moment for Bristol City Women and we are excited about the next chapter in the club's story,"
"Mercury13 have the commitment and capability to drive Bristol City Women forward and continue our proud history as a progressive, innovative and community-focussed club."
"Mercury13's ambition for women's football matches our own; their dedicated investment and focus on women's football will accelerate Bristol City Women's growth and I look forward to seeing what the club can achieve in the years to come."
Mercury13 has taken majority ownership of Bristol City Women, with the Lansdown family retaining a minority stake. The multi-club group, which also owns Serie A Femminile side Como Women, aims to acquire women's teams across Europe and will provide dedicated investment and focus. Bristol City Women will continue to play at Ashton Gate and train at the Robins High Performance Centre under a long-term agreement. The Lansdowns have owned the club since 2014 within Bristol Sport, which includes multiple Bristol teams. Bristol City Women were founding members of the Women's Super League in 2011 and have five top-flight campaigns and a notable 2014 Champions League win against Barcelona.
