About Football Capitalist

Football Capitalist examines football through the lens of finance, governance, investment, and long-term value creation. The global football industry is evolving — with private equity groups, sovereign investment funds, family offices, media companies, and non-traditional stakeholders shaping the future of clubs and competitions.

We analyze how clubs operate, how they are valued, how player development markets behave, and how the global landscape of football investment continues to expand across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia.

What We Cover

• Club ownership, restructures, and acquisitions
• Multi-club network strategies
• Scouting markets and academy development models
• Broadcast rights & emerging media revenue systems
• Player transfer economics & valuation frameworks
• Regulatory and governance changes affecting competition

Our readership includes club executives, scouts, sporting directors, investors, analysts, coaches, and supporters interested in how football operates as an economic and competitive system.

Mission & Editorial Approach

Our mission is to provide clear, research-based insight into how football functions as a commercial, competitive, and cultural industry. We aim to increase transparency, improve understanding, and contribute to more informed decision-making at every level of the sport.

Editorial Approach

1. Independent Analysis — built on data, history, sourcing, and structural understanding.
2. Long-Term Perspective — we track cycles, not reaction headlines.
3. Accountability — every article is attributed to a real author.
4. Clarity — complex subjects, explained cleanly.

Core Belief

Football is not only a game. It is labor, capital, infrastructure, education, broadcasting, governance, and global culture. Understanding those systems is necessary for understanding the future of the sport.
