Decathlon acquires Spanish Intersport stores; only Tenerife is standing in the way

The Spanish competition authority has approved Decathlon’s acquisition of 18 Intersport stores, but has attached additional conditions to the deal. The regulator sees particular risks in Tenerife.

Stricter conditions in Tenerife

In late 2025, Decathlon announced it would acquire a number of Intersport stores, at a time when that chain was in liquidation and undergoing insolvency proceedings. The acquisition may now proceed, but only with additional conditions in Tenerife.
