The financial terms of the stake purchase were not disclosed, but Frasers said the agreement allows it to potentially acquire a controlling interest in Hudson in the future.
The deal will help the company enter the Maltese market with the first Sports Direct store planned to open in 2025, and further expansion in the Northwestern Africa market, Frasers said.
The British retailer has been diversifying its portfolio over the last few years and has bought stakes in several brands including Hugo Boss, ASOS, Boohoo, Currys and AO World.
