The European Club Talent and Competition Landscape

The new European Club Talent and Competition Landscape report – built on the foundation of the Club Licensing Benchmarking Report, and the first of two reports to be produced this year – explores and analyses the European football landscape and documents the unbridled success of the European sports model.

It provides colour and substance on such subjects as the record summer transfer investment, record crowd levels and head coach career pathways.

The analysis undertaken by the UEFA Intelligence Centre provides insights to stakeholders that go beyond the headlines, to support evidence-based policy making and decision taking. The landscape reports have long brought transparency to European football and this edition continues this purpose.

As you explore these pages, you'll quickly notice the remarkable strength and vitality of European football, which remains the global leader in game development and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

For those of you that love football, please enjoy.

BEST SUPPORTED CLUBS IN THE WORLD

Top 10

At the top of the pyramid, European clubs had a clean sweep of the top ten best supported clubs in the world.

RESILIENCE & PASSION

22 of 54

The resilience and passion of fans was never doubted but the strong majority of top tier leagues (33 of 54) enjoyed larger crowds than pre-pandemic.

PAID CROWD

68 mil.

Perhaps even more impressive are the 68 million crowds that paid to watch lower tier club football in Europe.

TRANSFER TRENDS

This summer’s buoyant transfer market saw Europe’s clubs emerge defiantly from the post-pandemic era. Investment from broadcast deals and investors continues to be reflected in the major global transfer flow, making sure talent developers are financially rewarded.

TRANSFER TRENDS

Major summer transfer flows highlight the dominance of English liquidity

Trend of investment in Youth
51%
of all transfer fees invested in players aged 23 and under. By comparison, 5% of Saudi Arabian spend has been directed at this younger age group

RECORD TRANSFER EARNINGS
15%
above previous record, with large spend from outside Europe boosting European club transfer profits

ENGLISH CLUB LIQUIDITY
44%
of global transfers by fee involved one or both English clubs

AVERAGE DEAL PRICE
€18.7 million
average Premier League deal.
5 x higher than Serie A average deal
6 x higher than LaLiga average deal

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

RECORD EARNINGS

39% increase

From last summers’ transfer earnings, with Saudi Arabian transfer spending helping European clubs earn more than ever before

TREND OF INVESTMENT IN YOUTH

68%

Of all transfers fees invested in players 23 or younger - a decade ago the share was less than 50%

ENG FLOW / LIQUIDITY

€2.7 billion

estimated English club gross transfer spend. Almost exactly the same as the other ‘big5’ countries combined.

KSA FLOW

€800 million

Saudi Arabian club net spend, joining the English clubs in providing a second large source of transfer profits for talent developers. All other major markets were net earners during the summer.

COMPETITIONS

UEFA stands alongside all the major stakeholders to proudly protect the European sports model and the pyramid structure that connects grassroots football at the bottom to elite clubs at the top

COMPETITIONS

Upwardly mobile European football league pyramid

Tier where pyramid broadens typically moving from a single national league to multiple regional leagues*

* In most cases the vertical tiers broaden into multiple leagues within the tier, when nationwide league tiers become multiple regional tiers. Sometimes, with Italy and Spain as examples, the broad allocation of clubs is regional but other factors such as travel times or major city allocation also contribute to the constituent clubs. ** The numbers of clubs is not exact as we travel down the pyramid as league reorganisations and club withdrawals become more common. In certain cases, there are restrictions on tier mobility based on amateur/professional split or stadium, safety or licensing factors.

Relegation and promotion crucial to a healthy pyramid

The minimum number of men’s and women’s second division teams that will be promoted to the top division at the end of this season.

Another 65 top tier teams will be playing in tension filled play-offs to stay in their top league.

1000

different clubs have competed in the top division of domestic league European football in the last decade.

250

different clubs have competed in UEFA club competition football in the last decade.

The number of starting positions in UEFA club competitions will increase from 240 next year with the widening of competition access.

HEAD COACHES

The job of a head coach is an increasingly unstable but internationally mobile profession. We analyse how last season’s head coach profiles differ across Europe and document how their careers started
