Check Out 2021’s World’s Most Valuable Football Clubs

The Forbes list of the most valuable sports teams in the world for 2021 includes nine football (soccer) clubs, which is already dominated by NFL franchises. However, there are as many football clubs as there are basketball teams, while baseball has just six teams.

Forbes uses ‘revenue and operating income adjusted for revenue sharing, which provide the economics of each team’s arena contract but not the value of the real estate itself’ to measure a team’s value, which is equity plus net debt.

The Dallas Cowboys dominate the overall list with a $5.7 billion
valuation, followed by the New York Yankees and New York Knicks, all of
whom have valuations of at least €5 billion.

The first football club on the list is ranked number four on the list.

Here’s a peek at all nine of the top 50 football clubs in the world for 2021, according to Forbes…

Overall position: =43rd

Value change over last five years: +207%

Since 2011, Paris Saint-Germain has been one of the proven European elite, with their value increasing by a factor of 200 percent in the last five years alone. They are regarded as one of the world’s most trendy and marketable clubs.

Overall position: 38th

Value change over last five years: +39%

Arsenal has been owned by the Kroenke family since 2011, and the club’s value has more than doubled since then. However, the pace of growth has slowed in recent years, possibly due to a general lack of progress on the field.

Overall position: =25th

Value change over last five years: +93%

Following concerns in recent years that his interest in Chelsea was waning, particularly after he left the UK in 2018 amid visa renewal delays, Roman Abramovich appears to be fully invested in the club once again.

In recent seasons, Manchester City has dominated English football. Sheikh Mansour’s massive investment has fully transformed the club, with success on the field leading to a stronger profile and global brand off it.

Overall position: 12th

Value change over last five years: +165%

Liverpool has suffered financially as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, but their overall value has increased significantly in the last five years. That has coincided with Jurgen Klopp’s tenure as manager and the massive commercial development that has resulted from his efforts.

Overall position: 11th

Value change over last five years: +27%

Manchester United’s value has grown at a slower pace than any of the other football clubs on this list over the last five years. Each year, the Glazer family profits, and the European Super League scandal has sparked a new wave of fan demonstrations against the American owners.

Overall position: 10th

Value change over last five years: +57%

Bayern Munich continues to dominate the German domestic scene, and in 2020, they made Champions League history by being the first team to win every game in the competition on their way to winning the trophy.

Overall position: 5th

Value change over last five years: +30%

Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, was a driving force behind the collapsed European Super League format, which his club has steadfastly refused to abandon. Los Blancos, on the other hand, are a globally recognized brand that has won four Champions Leagues since 2014.

Overall position: 4th

Value change over last five years: +34%

Barcelona’s spiraling debt and massive expenses, which are primarily the product of excessive transfer fees and salaries that haven’t translated into significant on-field success in recent seasons, are a huge burden. However, they remain the best-valued team in the world of football.
