PARIS (AP) — Champions League champions Paris Saint-Germain earned a club-record 837 million euros ($976 million) last season.
The figures announced by the club on Tuesday included €175 million in match revenue and €367 million in commercial revenue, with six new partners joining the club.
This figure also includes men’s and women’s soccer teams, handball teams, and judo teams. For comparison, his revenue for the 2023-24 season was 806 million euros, the third highest in European football.
PSG’s men’s team achieved double domestic title, won the Champions League They defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the final, giving the club’s Qatari investors QSI the trophy they had coveted since taking over the club in June 2011 for the first time.
In May, Forbes valued the club at $4.6 billion. 7th One of the most valuable soccer teams in the world. Real Madrid topped the list with $6.75 billion, followed by Manchester United ($6.6 billion) and Spanish champions Barcelona ($5.65 billion).
However, Ligue 1’s low television revenues and the 48,000 capacity of the Parc des Princes stadium (considerably small compared to other leading clubs in Europe) hindered PSG’s further financial growth.
The Parc des Princes is owned by Paris City Hall, and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo did not want to sell the stadium to the club, preferring the club to buy and expand the stadium rather than move elsewhere.
“Our door is always open to the expansion of the Parc des Princes, which is owned by the city of Paris,” Hidalgo told Le Parisien newspaper in June. “We don’t sell, we spread.”
Plans were still being considered for a new, larger stadium with a minimum capacity of 60,000 people, away from the Parc des Princes, in Passy or Massy, on the outskirts of the city.
A decision on the new stadium was expected to be made next fall. ___
