Real Madrid C.F., the world-famous Spanish football club, has reported revenues exceeding €1 billion (£850 million) for the 2024–25 season, marking the second year in a row the club has crossed the milestone.
The club generated €1.18 billion in total income, excluding player transfer fees, despite a trophy-less campaign for the men’s first team. This figure represents a 10% increase from the €1.07 billion reported in the 2023–24 season, the first time Real Madrid surpassed the billion-euro mark.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at €243 million for the 2024–25 season, while net profit after tax reached €24.3 million.
Real Madrid highlighted that “all business lines registered growth” with the exception of broadcasting income, which saw a slight year-on-year decline. On the pitch, the men’s team finished second in LaLiga, suffered defeat to arch-rivals FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Commercially, the club renewed its partnership with Cisco at the end of last month. The global telecommunications and networking firm will work with Real Madrid to enhance digital infrastructure at both the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and the Real Madrid City training complex.
Planned upgrades include the development of an AI-ready data centre, the installation of Cisco Wi-Fi 7 at the training grounds, and the construction of a “robust 100 Gbps infrastructure” linking the stadium to the training facility. Cisco has played a pivotal role in the Bernabéu’s ongoing transformation into a cutting-edge, 83,000-seat venue.
GlobalData Sport valued the Cisco–Real Madrid agreement for the 2024–25 season at $2.6 million (£2 million).
