DOHA (Qatar): Paris Saint-Germain is now one of the ten most valuable football clubs, according to the Forbes ranking unveiled on Monday.
By moving up to ninth place in the ranking, PSG achieves a two-place rise, with its valuation growing $1.4bn against Forbes’ last published value league table.
Since the previous edition in 2018, PSG has more than doubled its valuation, now estimated at $2.5 billion by the magazine which has been compiling soccer valuations for over a decade.
“This ranking is a further confirmation of our development and diversification strategy. In less than ten years, Paris Saint-Germain brand has become THE global reference in the sports and lifestyle universe. Thanks to our extensive efforts to date, we have a solid asset base to further build our future successes, both on and off the pitch,” said Nasser Al Khelaifi, PSG Chairman and CEO.
In this latest publication, PSG has the the greatest percentage value increase (129%), consolidating its place among the world’s elite.
Since the takeover by Qatar Sport Investment in 2011, and particularly in the last five years, PSG has established itself as the most dynamic club in the world.
2021 sees the first time Paris Saint-Germain enters the top 10 ranking by Forbes since the acquisition of QSI, at which time the Club was not considered for valuation amongst the top 20 teams globally (The first valuation of the Club by Forbes Magazine was in 2014, $415m, 15th place).
