Staff per €1 of revenue13 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. Paços de Ferreira: Reported revenue €1.42m; player-sale gains already excluded. The scales are logarithmic.

What we looked for and could not find in public sources. If you know, send a correction with a source.

  • The club's accountsFutebol Clube de Paços de Ferreira, SDUQ, Lda (FC Paços de Ferreira's company) posted no annual report that could be found for 2025-26 (tier 2). Lei 39/2023 requires the last three years on the company's site; the filed accounts can be bought from the registry (BDCA certificate), which this batch does not do.
  • The terms of a dealNo free source gives a price, capital commitment or other money term for pt-pacos-de-ferreira-2026-playmakers (control, 2026-04-24). In March 2025 a presidential candidate, Rui Abreu, proposed selling 75% of the SAD for €8m with the investor assuming €1.5m of liabilities (Record); that was an election plan, not a deal.
  • Who controls the clubCompletion of the SAD conversion and of PlayMakers Sports' entry (approved 24 April 2026) not found; the club entered the 2026-27 Liga 3 as an SDUQ.
