Lazio Join Europe’s Elite in Financial Profitability Rankings

Financial discipline, particularly in line with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations, is becoming a cornerstone of sustainable success for European football clubs. In a recent report highlighting the continent’s most profitable clubs, Calcio e Finanza unveiled a Top 10 list of teams that have generated the highest earnings—laying strong economic foundations for long-term growth and competitive stability.

S.S. Lazio, under the leadership of president Claudio Lotito, earned recognition for their prudent financial management, placing the Roman club among Europe’s best in terms of profitability. Lazio’s inclusion in the list underscores the strategic value of economic balance as a competitive asset in modern football.

Europe’s Top 10 Most Profitable Clubs:

1. Chelsea – €153 million

2. Manchester City – €87 million

3. Brighton – €72 million

As is often the case in European football, English clubs dominate the rankings—five of the top ten hail from the Premier League.
