Official Announcement: Liga F
Real Madrid C. F. announces that it has decided not to participate in the investment agreement approved at the Liga F Assembly held last Monday, June 29. This decision has also been made by a quarter of the clubs participating in the competition.
Real Madrid believes that this agreement does not align with the growth model of women's football, which is based on sustainability, transparency, and the full autonomy of the clubs.
The operation involves funding provided by a private investor who, in return, will receive a percentage of the competition's future commercial revenues (between 35% and 49%) until June 2051. Under this agreement, the affiliated clubs will receive 40 million euros collectively, and in exchange, they will forfeit a percentage of revenues for 25 years.
Additionally, Liga F will receive 12 million euros, and another 3 million euros will be allocated for the acquisition of certain image rights of some players.
Real Madrid respects the decision of the clubs that have deemed it appropriate to join this initiative. However, the voluntary nature of the agreement requires that the choice made by each club should not result in differences in treatment or economic or institutional consequences for those who choose to remain outside the operation.
Real Madrid also considers that a decision with economic and governance effects extending over the next twenty-five years should take into account not only the clubs currently participating in the competition and benefiting from the resources derived from this operation but also those that will join Liga F in the future, as they will also be bound by the approved model without having been involved in its decision-making or having benefited from the initially distributed funding.
Real Madrid will continue to work towards a fair, sustainable, and transparent model that strengthens the growth of women's football, as our club has done so far.
