KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov 9 (Bernama-PRNewswire) — Malaysian businessman Dato’ Ananth S. Nathan has undertaken a leading investment in founding English Premier League Club Wimbledon FC, resurrected in 2002 as AFC Wimbledon. This investment positions him as the second-largest individual shareholder, and one of the select few Asian owners of a European football club.
In a remarkable year where those of Asian heritage are rising to prominent positions in the UK—Prime Minister Rishi Sunak having recently ascended to political premiership on Deepavali — Ananth is also honoured to take up a new position, as International President for AFC Wimbledon.
