Last week I have been diving into the industry multiples of women's football clubs around the globe, to provide a valuation benchmark in later stages for HERA United 🚀 I have found valuable insights from the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), where the valuations have soared over time as the popularity of the game continues to rise. ➡ Here are some main insights: - The average club in the NWSL has a valuation of $73 million, with Angel City Football Club newest valuation set at $250 million making it the most valuable women's sport team in the world - The multiples for these teams (based on entreprise value/revenue) are on average around 8x, which is comparable to high-growth sectors with a strong market demand and significant future potential But what kind of valuations we can expect from leading European women's teams? The New York Times did report that Chelsea Football Club is considering a sale of a minority stake in their women's team at a valuation of $200 million. Personally I am thrilled to see these soaring multiples in women's football, which reflects the increasing recognition and investment in the women's game ⚽

⚽️ Secretary-General at FHA| FIFA Technologies | Ph.D. Student in Technology Management | Sports Event Management
The Ballon d'Or, once regarded as the pinnacle of individual achievement in football, has sadly lost its luster and credibility in recent years. What was once a prestigious accolade celebrating the finest talents in the sport now seems to be more of a popularity contest than a true reflection of a player's skill and contributions on the pitch. The recent selections have raised eyebrows and sparked debates, leading many to question the integrity of the voting process. Instead of honoring players based on their on-field performances, it appears that factors such as marketability and media presence have taken precedence. This shift undermines the very spirit of football, which is rooted in fair competition and respect for the game's heritage. Moreover, the Ballon d'Or has become a platform that trivializes the essence of football, reducing it to mere spectacle rather than celebrating the hard work and dedication of athletes. As a result, the award no longer holds the same significance it once did, alienating fans and players alike. In an age where the game is evolving, we must ask ourselves: can we still consider the Ballon d'Or a credible award, or has it become a mere shadow of its former self, mocking the rich history and values of football? www.the-fha.com #fifa #football
