Historically, matchday revenue has been a crucial income stream for football clubs, largely derived from ticket sales. Clubs with larger stadiums naturally earn more— Arsenal, for instance, generates more matchday revenue than both Real Madrid and Barcelona due to its stadium size and ticket pricing. Furthermore, performance in various tournaments can amplify these earnings through heightened ticket sales during cup runs.
Moreover, the sale of food and drinks on matchday contributes to this income. Though not as significant as broadcast rights or transfer fees, these sales play a vital role in the overall financial health of clubs.
