Record
Flamengo was the team that broke the revenue record, especially due to prizes of R$ 154 million from the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. If he had sold athletes, the
profit it would be even bigger.Incidentally, São Paulo was on the list precisely because 35% of its 2022 revenue was derived from the sale of players for international and national football.
Out of the lead, one of the teams that stood out the most in the increase in earnings last year was Fortaleza. The team received BRL 268 million in 2022, and in 2021 it was BRL 175 million.
finance football
As in any other spheres of contemporary society, football has become a game that also depends on skills finances for each team. Therefore, those that stand out for the best purchases and sales are the ones that end up winning important championships during the year.
It is still too early to speculate on how the balance of 2023 will be, since in the second half a lot can change for most of the most prominent Brazilian teams. It is worth remembering that Grêmio appeared in 3rd in 2021, but in 2022 it was in 1st position, for example.
