CONCACAF League Salaries

For some more info, here is the guaranteed compensation (not salaries) for the starting players (when everyone is healthy) for my MLS team, Columbus Crew. And I believe we are one of the lower payout teams in the league.

-------------------------------Gruenebaum ($93,887)-----------------------------------
Williams ($52,313)---Marshall ($361,250)---Glauber Berti ($263,333)---Viana ($131,667)
--------------------------------Trapp ($127,000)----------------------------------------
Oduro ($122,115)------O'Rourke ($175,000) or Sanchez ($230,000)-----Gaven ($195,000)
-------------------------Higuain ($604,000)----Arrieta ($225,375)-------------------

The salaries for the starting XI is OK, but there isn't much on the bench (in terms of high salary). One one player beyond those 12 listed above makes more than 100k, and that is Tchani at $155,000.

Of the remaining 17 players on the roster:
75,001 to 99,999 = 3 players
50,001 to 75,000 = 3 players
40,001 to 50,000 = 7 players
league min ($35,125) = 4 players

 

The average salary of a Mexican league player can't be all that much higher than the average salary of a MLS player. MLS needs to start dishing some minor 5 figure sponsorships to some guys.

 

Well I think some of the trolls take offense to the bilded part.

Statistically speaking head to head this is hard to show.

There was a poster called Gringomelon or something like that that used to keep track of head to head matches, he made a bet that the gap was not closing, he lost the bet so he stopped tracking this.

 

bolded, still can't edit

 

Only MX and MLS for Concacaf, and well like most other listings of this type, probably a lot of guesstimate/bullshit on the lists, but it is all we really have.

Bundeliga 2 is not on the list, but I would imagine it would be in the top 20 or so.

 

Top six are not surprising.

Definitely surprised to see Brazil so high. I thought the mass emigration of players from that league was due, in part, to clubs needing the money to stay afloat and other leagues providing better financial stability, much like the Argentinean league.

I knew the Turkish and Mexican league were similar but the wage disparity seems wider than I thought. 446k-265k isn't very close at all.

 

Bet those wages in Mexico and Turkey are grossly way higher in relation to the average person's salary than say the salary in France/Germany/Italy.

I would guess outside of Mexico and MLS the Costa Rican league is the highest paid in CONCACAF or maybe Jamaica/ Trinidad & Tobago

 

Would be interesting if they did an adjustment for cost of living to see how far those numbers go in each country.

 

I concur. Also how much of those salaries are actually paid to the player and not just stolen

 

After Costa Rica and possibly even ahead of them is Guatemala's league. They definitely pay more in Guatemala then the Caribbean leagues

 

Really Guatemala?

 

Yeah there is a lot of money relative to central American standards in their football now. Even some of their second division teams have more money then first division teams in other Central American countries. It isn't helping grow the game like it should because a lot of that money is going to foreign players that aren't very good but it has improved some of the stadiums outside of the capital.

They are experiencing an influx of money like Colombia did a few decades ago but it isn't going to be on the same scale or as successful of course.

 

I doubt any of the Caribbean leagues pay that much. Most are either semi pro, or very recently professional. I remember an article sometime last year how almost all players in the Jamaican league have second jobs.
