"Despite All the Critics' Doubts": FC Bayern Sets New Record Revenue - FC Bayern Munich's CEO: Lack of Benefactor is a Strength
FC Bayern Munich's CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, has an unconventional view on the club's financial situation. He believes their lack of a wealthy benefactor is a strength, not a weakness. Despite this, the club generated record revenue and achieved impressive profits in the finance department.
FC Bayern Munich's pre-tax earnings stood at €42.5 million, with a net profit of €27.1 million, only slightly down from the previous year. This was achieved without major investments, showing the club's financial prowess. Dreesen believes this is due to the club's strategy of not making every transfer and certainly not at any cost.
The club's revenue reached a record high of €978.3 million, a 2.8% increase from the previous year. This was driven by a significant rise in matchday revenue, which surged by nearly 15% to €260.7 million, partly due to the Club World Cup. Dreesen is against regular Bundesliga matches abroad but supports making the Bundesliga more global.
Dreesen's views contrast with other clubs that compete with Bayern on the transfer market, boasting large financial means. However, he believes this lack of a wealthy benefactor is a strength, allowing the club to focus on maximum sporting success while ensuring financial sustainability.
FC Bayern Munich's financial performance remains strong, with record revenue and profits. Despite the lack of a wealthy benefactor, the club continues to invest wisely and aims for global recognition while maintaining financial stability.
