For the 2022/23 financial year, SC Freiburg has presented figures in new spheres. The Breisgau club presented new record figures for turnover and net profit.
At the general meeting on Wednesday evening, the fans and managers of SC Freiburg had every reason to be happy. The club revealed the figures of its most economically successful season in history. Even without the first Champions League participation, which was in sight in the meantime, the development of the current Bundesliga ninth-placed team seems to be almost unstoppable.
The Sport-Club generated a total of 175.3 million euros in the past financial year and significantly increased its turnover compared to 2021/22 (114.9 million euros). The bottom line is that Freiburg achieved a net profit of 16.1 million euros last season – in the 2021/22 season, the figure was “only” two million euros.
Oliver Leki, who has been the board member responsible for finance, organisation and marketing since 2014 and extended his contract until 2027 at the beginning of March this year, summed up: “Thanks to a very successful season in sporting terms, in which we fully benefited for the first time from the improved marketing opportunities and the higher spectator capacity of the new Europa-Park Stadium, we were able to significantly improve economically in all areas. For the club, it was the most financially successful year in its history. At the same time, it is both motivation and confirmation for us to consistently continue on our path of sustainable management.”
The Breisgau club also significantly increased its equity as of 30 June 2023 due to the positive annual result (2022/23) – it stood at 111.1 million euros as of the balance sheet date (previous year: 95.0 million euros). The balance sheet total as of 30 June 2023 was a whopping 149.1 million euros.
