Women's Football Revenue on the Rise, Expected to Dominate in 2024

Despite Financial Challenges, Women's Football Clubs See Significant Revenue Growth, with Barcelona Leading the Pack

Deloitte Football Money League (DFML) reports that the average revenue generated by the top 15 highest revenue-generating women's football clubs in 2022-23 stood at €4.3 million, a 61% increase from the previous year.
Barcelona topped the DFML rankings with €13.4 million in revenue for the women's side in the 2022-23 season, a year-on-year increase of 74%.
Seven of the clubs in the top 15 belong to the Women's Super League (WSL), indicating its strength and potential for further commercialisation.
Despite the revenue growth, no clubs were profitable in 2022-23, with the average wages/revenue ratio standing at 106%.
Deloitte predicts that football will be the most valuable and dominant women's sport in 2024, with revenue of more than €500 million expected to be generated worldwide.
