EBRD invests €15M in Sportano as it expands across Europe

A cross-border sports retailer reaches profitability

International markets already account for more than half of Sportano’s sales, and the company said it reached profitability in the first half of 2026 while continuing to grow. That combination gives the expansion story a stronger base than home-market growth alone.
