Over the past dozen years or so the company has been expanding abroad from its home base in Manresa (Barcelona province), first to Italy and France (2013), then to Portugal (2014), Germany (2018) and the UK (2018). It expanded farther when JD Sports Fashion, through subsidiary Iberian Sports Retail Group (ISRG), acquired a majority stake of 80 percent, in 2021. JD upped this to 98 percent the following year. (Deporvillage founders Xavier Pladellorens and Ángel Corcuera hold the other 2 percent.)
At present Deporvillage ships to more than 30 countries, most in Europe, some in the Americas or Oceania. It operates at least one physical store, in Alcorcón (Madrid).
JD Sports Fashion’s own majority shareholder (55%) is Pentland Group.
