Does anyone have any definative revenue figures for the Turkish teams in the list ? Also, Portsmouth FC will be off the list as soon as I get revised revenue figures as they are now entering administration. Glasgow Rangers are likely to be reformed and their entry will be changed accordingly.
Thanks for posting this list. Can you tell me the source for your data? The top 30 are available from Deloitte: http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_GB/.../9db981f2bd415310VgnVCM1000001a56f00aRCRD.htm Note that Liverpool and Inter are inverted in your data and theirs.
Data from club websites, press releases, national associations and bodies such as deloittes.The difference between Inter and Liverpool is that the £pound has significantly strengthened since deloittes calculations in June . .
For a research project on soccer, I need some data on the Asian Soccer, mainly the estimated nº of fans (Japan, Malaysia and Korea), amount of TV rights, merchandising values and other info. I would be very grateful for your help. You can send to nunoarpinto@gmail.com

The Brazillian figures are amazing, clearly the biggest revenue generating league outside of Europe and growing faster than any of the Euro Leagues. The figures I will use are the Receita Sem Atletas, in all my lists I never use player sales (Deloitte doesn't either) so R$230m for Corinthians, not R$290m . . . I am impressed with Flamengo and their revenue growth, they are likely to challenge SPFC and Corinthians financially over the next few years.
To compliment this thread my full listing of all sports teams with revenues above €1m is now fully updated and available for download at https://sites.google.com/site/sportsrevenues/main-list-all-sports It includes all the latest published accounts for French and Brazillian clubs. The whole list has 3065 clubs.
Nice job, man! Just a tip. You could use the exchange rate for last day of 2011. When I did the conversion I used the exchange rate of dec 31, 2011 (2.418). Why? Because we're talking about the revenues of 2011 and for standardization. In the 10 days the exchange rate could be totally diferent. Best regards!
Good point about exchange rates . . I keep my lists on my web site with current exchange rates. This does mean, however that British US and Japanese clubs have recently strenghthened against the Euro so they look like they have got richer, whereas the Brazillian clubs for instance look weaker as the R$ has weakened against the Euro. I did consider setting a date for the exchange rates and not amending it for one year, maybe I shall do this again !? . . Regards,
Great list! Terrific work! Been looking for such a list for a while. One that included numbers from less prominent clubs. Well done! Those look like 10/11 numbers. Correct? I would have welcomed sources and possibly diverging time periods being listed in the file.
Also noted, that the excel file has both an: VFC Plauen VFC Plauern The latter looks like a messed up spelling of the former and ought to be removed.
Sorted the list to include only German clubs. Note that the 1.FFC Frankfurt is exclusively a women's club.

Well, okay. The data towards the end looks iffy. But it's good to have some data to go by when it comes to the upper tiers.
The problem is still, as I already said in this, or the other thread, that it's unsourced and from different years. The KSC number is from 2007-08, for example. By now their budget is about 4 million Euros (so the revenue won't be that much higher next season). As a ranking it doesn't show much this way.
Thanks guys, i really appreciate your comments . . it is difficult keeping the information upto date especially for clubs below the first tier and especially as I have nearly 4000 entries, so your comments are helpfully. I shall amend the details and look forward to any other data or comments you have. Cheers.
