A SPECIAL REPORT ON FOOTBALL OWNERSHIP & GOVERNANCE
European football has experienced a high influx of investments in the past decade, reaching historic record-breaking numbers. Despite the turmoil in the financial markets in the past couple of years, stakeholders from around the world searching for alternative investments have found football clubs as an attractive investment asset with continuously growing valuations.
This is creating new dynamics around the ways in which football properties are governed and getting access to new ways of funding growth. This was the topic of one of the workshops that took place in WFSEurope 2022 led by Carlos Cantó from SPSG Consulting, where 16 top industry experts shared insights and debated about how these dynamics will evolve in the future.

This covers a wide range of subjects, from current sports media trends, transfers to scouting techniques, athlete health and club-athlete relationship.
In addition, WL Convention 2023 will provide attendees with networking opportunities with peers as well as an avenue for participants to easily engage with each other through forums, exhibition and education. This is something many of the clubs who regularly visit Antalya for training and fitness camps had never experienced here before.
This year’s WL Convention is endorsed and supported by the Government of Turkey and aims to establish itself as the major destination for everything related to football.

UEFA Annual and Financial Reports 2020/21
UEFA’s latest Annual and Financial Reports both offer timely reminders of how the European body applies the values of the European sports model at all levels of the football pyramid.
The European sports model forms the foundations on which most of our continent’s sports institutions, organisations and governing bodies are built. Its pyramid structure works on the premise that revenue generated at the top by professional competition is reinvested back into the game at all levels. It also recognises the sport’s contribution to society beyond the pitch, whether through education, innovation, sustainability or breaking down barriers.The 2020/21 editions of both our Annual and Financial Reports (plus the Financial Report annex) are packed with data, stories and graphics that show how UEFA lives the values of this model in every aspect of its mission.
Football Finance 2022
The 31st edition of Deloitte’s Annual Review of Football Finance – the leading independent review of the business and finances of European professional football – chronicles the 2020/21 season, a season impacted by COVID-19 restrictions which caused significant disruption.
With matches played behind closed doors and stadia empty for the majority of the season, European clubs were faced with unprecedented challenges.
The Annual Review of Football Finance 2022 analyses the legacy of the disruption and charts the ‘new dawn’ ushered in by the actions taken to mitigate it, while providing an outlook on the industry’s efforts to build financial sustainability across European football for the long-term.
Despite an almost complete loss of matchday revenue in the 2020/21 season, the European football market grew defiantly in revenue terms by 10% to €27.6 billion, boosted by the UEFA EURO 2020 tournament and deferred revenue from the postponed 2019/20 season.
Deloitte Football Money League 2022
Welcome to a milestone edition of the Deloitte Football Money League (‘DFML’). Every year, DFML profiles the financial performance of the highest revenue generating clubs in world football. This year’s edition is a landmark publication for more reasons than one, as it marks 25 years of DFML and covers the first season (2020/21) to be impacted by COVID-19 from start to finish.
Published less than twelve months after the end of the 2020/21 season, the Money League is the most contemporary and reliable independent analysis of the featured clubs’ relative financial performance.
The impact of COVID-19 on Money League clubs’ finances is clear to see, although perhaps not always what many would expect. While we would typically associate COVID-19 with a negative financial impact, not all revenue streams shrunk in comparison to the previous season, with record aggregate broadcast revenue (€4.5 billion) recorded.

TÜRK FUTBOLU MANİFESTOSU
Toplumsal gelişmede küçümsenmeyecek bir yere sahip bulunan futbol, sektörel anlamda da önemli sayılabilecek bir yapı sergilemektedir. Bütün bu gelişmelere karşın, futbolu herkesin aktif olarak katılımda bulunabildiği bir spor dalı haline getirebilmek için var olan potansiyeli, dengeli bir düzeyde geliştirip benimsetmek futbol yönetimi ile ilgilidir.
Son yıllarda, Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu (TFF)’ nin problemli olarak sunmuş olduğu futbol hizmetlerinde, siyasi ve bürokratik egemenlik gibi şekillerde kendini gösteren idari tıkanıklıklar dikkat çekmektedir. Dolayısıyla hızlı bir değişimin yaşandığı günümüz ortamında futbola katılımın ve faaliyetlerin ülke düzeyine optimal biçimde sunulmasını sağlayacak yeni bir yapılanmaya ihtiyaç olduğu sık sık vurgulanmaktadır.
Bugün Türk futbolunun yapısal nitelikli önemli sorunları bulunmaktadır.
