The Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment (ADUG; Arabic: مجموعة أبوظبي الاتحاد للتنمية والاستثمار) is a United Arab Emirates (UAE) based private equity company.[1] It is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan,[2] member of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family and Vice President of UAE.[3][4] Leaks of internal documents show that the Abu Dhabi government manages the accounts belonging to ADUG.[5] ADUG insists it is separate from the Abu Dhabi government.[5]
The primary interest of the group is its 81% majority ownership of City Football Group, a worldwide organisation most notably controlling Manchester City, Mumbai City, Melbourne City and New York City, as well as several other international football clubs. However, it also holds interests in various other endeavours outside of the sporting world with an extensive property portfolio in the United Arab Emirates and Manchester.
