What's the most valuable sports team in the World?
Forbes magazine have valued Manchester United Football Club at £905m ($1,800m), making them the most valuable football (soccer) club in the world, ahead of Real Madrid at £646m ($1,285m) and Arsenal at £603m ($1,200m) in third. I was interested in finding out which sports clubs/teams are the most valuable in the world. With a bit of digging (also from Forbes) I found out that in American Football, the Washington Redskins are worth $1, 423 million, making them the most valuable NFL team. In Ice Hockey, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the most valuable NHL team, are worth a paltry $332m, and the most valuable NBA team, the New York Knick are only worth $592. Even the most valuable baseball team, the New York Yankees, are not worth as much as Manchester United, at $1,200m. Note that these valuations were not all made at the same time, but even still, it is unlikely that any of these teams are currently more valuable than Manchester United. I guess that shows that despite the incredible marketing pull of the American sports, the fact that football is played and watched the world over, is what drives their value? |
