DFL: publication of the 2023 "key financial indicators" for the Bundesliga & 2.Bundesliga clubs

The Deutsche Fußball Liga has published the "key financial indicators" (balance sheets and profit and loss accounts) of the clubs that have secured their place in
the Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga for the 2023-24 season, on 31/05/2023.

This annual publication, introduced at the League's general assembly in December 2018 as part of the amendment to the licensing regulations to improve the transparency of German professional clubs' finances, includes, among other things, the amount of commissions paid to players' agents (Auszahlungen für Spielerberaterim letzten Geschäftsjahr/Payments for players' agents in the last financial year, in thousands of euros).

"Although this measure is actually only required for clubs participating in European club competitions in accordance with the UEFA Club Licensing Regulations and in the context of Financial Fair Play, this regulation applies to all Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga clubs," explained the DFL.
