Winners and Losers in Football Club Stocks of 2023

Performance Analysis in the World Football Stock Market

As of 2023, the stock performance of football clubs worldwide has seen a significant increase. Portugal's famous club Porto stands out as the biggest winner with an impressive 218.2% value increase for its investors. Following closely are Benfica with 98.8%, Celtic with 18.8%, Lazio with 14.9%, Sporting CP with 11%, and Borussia Dortmund with 4.1% increases.

On-Field Success and Stock Performance

This increase is closely related to on-field successes. The current leader of the Portuguese League Porto, along with Sporting CP and Benfica, has supported their stock value increases with their outstanding performances in the league. Borussia Dortmund, positioned second in the Bundesliga, and Celtic, also second in the Scottish Premiership, have boosted their stock performance in relation to their on-field achievements.

Clubs with Poor Performance

In contrast, some clubs have disappointed their investors. Specifically, Juventus stocks have decreased by 4.3%, Manchester United by 8.2%, and Ajax by 11.1%. The lack of success in their league competitions has created negative pressure on the stock prices of these clubs. Manchester United has drawn attention due to financial results that fell below expectations, triggering the decline in its stock performance.

Expectations for 2025

Especially for 2025, it is anticipated that the stock performance of publicly traded football clubs in Europe will parallel the results obtained on the field. As 2023 comes to a close, investors will need to closely monitor the performance of these clubs.
