Hokulani Invests in Halifax FC Women Limited

In an exciting development in the world of women’s football, Hokulani Limited has acquired a stake in Halifax FC Women Limited, an FA Women’s National League club (3rd tier). While the purchase price remains undisclosed, this move signals a promising future for the club.

Director and Principal Investor, Daniel Thomas Loitz, expressed his enthusiasm, stating,

“The world is looking at the development of women’s football in the UK with envy at the moment. It has always been my dream to support a club in the homeland of football, having lived in the UK for ten years. My family and I have distributed donations and sponsorship to women’s football in Ukraine, Finland, Romania, and Germany through companies we control. Already in 2021, as a private individual, I wanted to acquire a stake in a women’s football club in the UK, and now I’ve come full circle with my investment firm.”

Hokulani Limited’s support is poised to fortify Halifax FC Women’s long-term prospects and integrate it into a satellite system of clubs, with a focus on nurturing talent from Yorkshire, the UK, and Europe. While aspirations for promotion to the Championship are on the horizon, the Women’s Super League remains an unrealistic goal that doesn’t align with the club’s future identity. Instead, their near-term objective includes relocating to Halifax and establishing their sports facility with a modest stadium. First Team Manager Rob Mitchell emphasized the positive shift for the club, envisioning a future that fosters both competition and the development of young talent. The partnership with Hokulani marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the club.
