LaLiga has regained its place as the second most valuable national league in the world after achieving record revenues of € 3.4 billion, which allow him to beat the German Bundesliga, although still far from the numbers of the British Premier.
This is clear from the 29th edition of the Deloitte's 'Annual Review of Football Finance' report, which analyzes the economic and commercial impact generated by the main soccer leagues in Europe. In said text highlights that the Premier continues to lead the ranking with revenues of 5.9 billion euros.
For his part, LaLiga is also second for revenue growth. Thus, Spanish clubs recorded an added profit of 300 million euros during the 2018/19 season, 10% more than in 2017/18. Also, for the first time in LaLiga history, no club reported operating losses.
“This is a remarkable position for the best clubs in Spain, especially given the financial image of just a few years ago. Although the centralized sale of broadcasting rights has undoubtedly been a key factor, it has also been credit must be given to the LaLiga regulatory environment, which monitors club spending and imposes restrictions if appropriate “, explains Concha Iglesias, partner in charge of the Sports industry at Deloitte.
In the 2018/19 season, the European football market reached 28.9 billion euros, a 9% increase over the previous season. This growth is mainly due to the five main European leagues (England, Germany, Spain, Italy and France), which together have entered 16,968 million euros, according to the report.
