UEFA Estimates COVID-19 Pandemic Cost European Clubs 7 Billion Euros
The Covid-19 pandemic has left the European clubs with a massive seven billion euro-crater in their bank accounts, a UEFA report concluded on Thursday. The virus-disrupted past two seasons, with many games played to empty terraces, ended an uninterrupted rise in revenue over the previous 20 years. With gate receipts decimated, sponsorship down and television rights receipts hit, clubs suffered a four billion euros hit in 2019-2020, and three billion in 2020-2021.
