LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ShareMatch Cements Position as the World’s First Shariah-Compliant Sports Investment Market with Appointment of Elite Shariah Advisory Board

Today the pioneering UK-based fintech platform, ShareMatch, announced a major milestone in its strategic growth with the appointment of an elite panel of Islamic Finance scholars and global regulatory experts to its newly formed Shariah Advisory Board. This watershed moment fortifies the platform’s robust governance framework and solidifies its position as the world's premier Shariah-compliant sports investment market.

By integrating world-class Shariah oversight and institutional-grade compliance and strictly adhering to globally recognised frameworks including the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) standards, ShareMatch is evidencing its unyielding commitment to ethical, faith-based investment principles.

Unlocking a Multi-Billion-Dollar Asset Class

The global sports industry has traditionally been inaccessible to investors seeking strictly Shariah-compliant markets online. ShareMatch is actively dismantling these barriers. The platform’s proprietary ecosystem gives retail users proportional ownership in real sports asset pools through secure, ethical investing, bringing true, asset-backed transparency to sports investment.

"This is a transformative moment not just for ShareMatch, but for the intersection of global sports and Islamic finance," said Joshua Hearne, Director of ShareMatch Limited in the UK. "Bringing scholars of this calibre onto our Board provides our community with unshakeable trust in our offering. It proves that sports investment can be both potentially profitable and engaging, while remaining 100% uncompromising on Shariah principles."

Dr. Mahmoud Zoair, Chairman of the Shariah Advisory Board, added: "Islamic finance is built on the principles of fairness, transparency, and tangible asset-backing, values that are inherently aligned with the core sporting value of fair play. ShareMatch has built a highly innovative model that honours these principles, and I look forward to working alongside the executive team to ensure continuous, end-to-end compliance as the platform scales globally."

Paving the Way for the Future

As ShareMatch continues its rapid growth, the Shariah Advisory Board will play an active, ongoing role in auditing investment structures, vetting new sports-focused assets, and overseeing operations. This critical governance milestone actively paves the way for the platform’s upcoming launch and preparation for Series A funding in the coming months.
