Mobile Streams announced on 31 March 2025 that it had entered into a term sheet with the other shareholders of Estadio Gana to acquire the remaining interest of the company, thereby taking MOS's interest in Estadio Gana to 100%. This proposed acquisition represents the cornerstone of the Company's aim to create a leading integrated sports, media and entertainment conglomerate focused within the Latin American region, and particularly the Mexican market.
This will span and bring together various media, entertainment, technology and iGaming businesses. As part of this expansion, MOS along with its proposed acquisition of Estadio Gana, proposes to acquire the remaining 77.5% of Capital Media Sports, the owner of Estadio Deportes, an online publication built around one of Mexico's most historic sports media brands. CMS will, on Admission own Estadio Deportes, a media sports website based on football heritage brands within Mexico.
The Company's focus on Mexico is supported by independent data that suggests that Mexico's sports betting and gaming industry is projected to reach a market size of US$11.47 billion by the end of 2025 according to Yogonet Gaming News. Further growth is expected, and the market is expected to increase by up to a further 70% by 2028 . Mexico is also set to co-host the FIFA World Cup in 2026, positioning Mobile Stream's target market posed for exponential expansion and crystalising future shareholder value.
These acquisitions will further support the growth and expansion of Estadio Gana, CMS and for general working capital of the Enlarged Group, the Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £3.02 million pursuant to Fundraising. Finally, to better align with the Company's ongoing and future business, it is also proposing to change its name to Gana Media Group plc.
The Estadio Gana Acquisition represents a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies (as well as a substantial property transaction under section 190 of the CA 2006, as Mark Epstein and Stefano Loretti, directors of Mobile Streams, are also shareholders in Estadio Gana) and accordingly is subject to Shareholder approval.
