Revenue in 2020: $860 million

Topping the list of the 30 biggest soccer clubs in the world is F.C. Barcelona, with a revenue of $860 million in 2020. Futbol Club Barcelona has a market value of $4.76 billion. With $410 million in commercial income, Barcelona edged out Real Madrid thanks to the soccer team’s $299.6 million broadcast revenue, the most of any soccer team. Barcelona is one of the most popular players in the Champions League’s history, having won the competition five times. On top of that, the Spanish professional soccer team has also won the FIFA Club World Cup three times. 

Barcelona’s rise coincides with the club’s public feud with superstar Lionel Messi, the world’s highest-paid football player, who threatened to leave before the end of his contract last year. The 32-year-old’s contract at Camp Nou expires in June 2021, and there has been no word on a contract extension. The announcement of Barcelona joining the Super League added a new aspect to the uncertainty surrounding Lionel Messi’s future football career.

F.C. Barcelona’s main partners in the 2020-21 season include American athletic wear NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) and leading Japanese internet company Rakuten Group, Inc. (OTC: RKUNY).
