Olympique de Marseille is progressing. This was less true in sporting terms last season, because despite a Europa League semi-final which partly justifies this revenue record recorded on the balance sheet of June 30, 2024, he ended his season in Ligue 1 with an eighth place which consequently deprives him of a European campaign, for this 2024-2025 financial year.
OM gains a place in the ranking of clubs with the highest income
It is less or even unlikely that in a year, without continental competition, moreover with the increase in prize money operated by UEFA, that Olympique Marseille will maintain its position in the elite of European football, among the twenty clubs which boast the largest turnovers. OM appeared there a year ago in twentieth position. It moves up one place (19th) in 2025, according to data from Deloitte.
Better still, the Marseille club has broken its operational turnover record, excluding operations carried out on the transfer market. It increases by 11% and 28.6 million euros on the balance sheet for the 2023-2024 season, to 287 million euros. Almost three hundred million euros, a threshold that he has never crossed, most of which comes from audiovisual rights, including the Ligue 1 championship, European Cup and Coupe de France. This brings in 117 million euros.
A turnover that has doubled in just three years
The rest comes from revenues from commercial partners at 102 million euros and ticketing at 68 million euros, a sector where Olympique de Marseille is progressing significantly season after season, since the end of the Covid period and the return to normal for sport in stadiums. Since 2020, moreover, and even 2021, the Bouches-du-Rhône club has doubled its turnover.
-However, the payroll is not known, nor its impact on the total income generated. We also do not know the net result of the season and whether Marseille has returned to profit. Under the governance of Frank McCourt, it has never happened that OM has completed a sporting and accounting year with a profit.
