The owner of Nottingham Forest is Evangelos Marinakis. He has owned the club since May 2017 through his company NF Football Investments. Although in April 2025, Marinakis temporarily withdrew control of the club by placing his shares into a blind trust to comply with UEFA rules on multi-club ownership, he still retains ownership. This step was taken because he also owns Olympiacos in Greece, and both clubs were competing for Champions League qualification, which UEFA regulations prohibit under the same owner. If Nottingham Forest does not qualify for the Champions League, Marinakis could reclaim direct control. Thus, Evangelos Marinakis remains the owner but does not currently have day-to-day control of the club due to these regulatory compliance measures.
