Each club's latest published accounts, at the tier it played that season.

  • Chaves
  • Other Liga Portugal 2 clubs
Revenue14 clubs

Each club's newest recorded accounts since 2021–22, at the tier it played that season. If that year's revenue cannot be separated from player trading, the club is omitted rather than using an older year. Coverage counts comparable accounts, not every club with financial data. Revenue excludes player-sale income. Where that income is included in the published total, we subtract the statement's separately reported player-trading figure. Some statements group loan fees and other player income with sale gains; those are removed together. Otherwise loan fees remain included. These are comparisons across accounting formats, not identical revenue definitions. Chaves: Reported revenue €1.19m; player-sale gains already excluded. Venda de bens €249,075.60 and prestação de serviços €936,508.73 (notes). The scales are logarithmic.
