over the last five financial years, only five Ligue 1 clubs have benefited.

One billion six hundred million euros, this is the equivalent of the losses accumulated by the twenty clubs of the current Ligue 1according to our observations made during the drafting of Sports. Where we were interested in the accounting of the elite teams of French football, over the period from 2018 to 2022, i.e. before, during and following the Covid crisis. The total is therefore negative at 1.64 billion euros. More than half of which falls to two teams; PSG especially and a lot at OM as well.

OM still in deficit, at PSG the biggest losses

The Marseille club has the unique particularity of having completed all five financial years of the period, with financial losses. As for PSG, it has the heaviest deficit in the history of all French collective sport, at 368.7 million net, in the 2021-2022 season alone. The causes are more or less the same for all the teams: there was the pandemic, the losses at the ticket office due to matches behind closed doors, the reluctance of some advertisers and the bitter failure of the Mediapro project and the rights to the billion dollars. euros.

SB29, RCSA, SDR, TFC and CF63 are the only ones with a positive balance

This explains why of the twenty clubs three quarters are in the red over the last five years. Which means all the same, that five clubs are beneficiaries, let’s give them the light they deserve in this circumstance: Brest Stadium first followed RC Strasbourg Alsace, Stade de Reims, Toulouse FC and Clermont Foot. Note also the specificity of Monaco, because the princely club has completed all seasons with an almost perfect balance, oscillating between 187,000 euros in losses recorded, in 2022 and 14,000 euros in profits, in 2018.
