Huge growth in #womensfootball revenues over the last few years, with interest from investors & commercial partners, has helped grow value. Thanks to @KatiegBBC for having me on to talk financial opportunities and risks. #sportsbiz #finance @UoPBusiness bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Wow. 🇺🇸 @NWSL women’s football club valuations 👀 ⚽️ These are not a “drain on men’s football club resources” as the women’s game has traditionally been viewed in Europe - they’re commercial entities in their own right. Opportunity for growth is vast 🚀 #NWSL
Our latest @NWSL valuations are out: Average team: Worth $104 million, up 57% from last year Gaps: Huge gap between 1 and 2, and between 2 and 3 Newcomers: Bay FC and Royals on list for first time Expansion: Boston is joining on a $53M expansion fee
Big thank you to @MaggieMrphy & @C_Philippou
