UEFA broadcasting revenues (including UEFA bonus payments)
Broadcasting revenue in the ‘big five’ leagues rose to EUR 4.074bn and exceeded
the EUR 4bn mark for the first time in FY 2011, representing 84.40% of collective
European top league broadcasting revenue. Three of the ‘big five’ leagues
generated more than half of their revenue from broadcasting (England 51.31%:
EUR 1.375bn, Italy 56.81%: EUR 0.925bn, and France 53.75%: EUR 0.607bn).
However the difference between Spain (37.73%: EUR 0.638bn) and Germany
(29.09%: EUR 0.526bn) and the other three is significant. Looking at the absolute
figures, England ranks first with generated EUR 1.375bn while looking at relative
figures Andorra ranks first with a broadcasting revenue share of 59.91%.

The development of attendances in European top five leagues
(2011/12 season) and ticket revenues (FY 2011)
Even if revenues from ticket sales do not represent the majority of UEFA league
revenues (19.3%) and which, in comparison with the other revenue streams, grow
below-average (CAGR 0.7%), ticket sales are an important indicator to assess how
popular football is and how much people are willing to spend on football in
individual countries. Conclusions can be drawn from the utilization of the stadium,
the average attendances as well as the infrastructure. Since both ticket sales and
stadium visit are directly correlated (level of ticket prices not taken into
consideration), both issues are summarized in this section.
