The Deloitte Football Money League is a ranking of football (soccer) clubs by income. It is produced annually by the accountancy firm Deloitte.
Rankings for the 2005/06 season
The total revenue of the top 20 richest clubs in the world is now over €3.3 Billion. Barcelona gained four places in the ranking for this year, making the two richest clubs both from Spain. England has the largest number of clubs in the list. Manchester United is still the richest club in the English Premiership, however, they were second on this list last year and have now fallen to fourth. A club from Portugal was added to the list for the first time. Portugal's S.L. Benfica is the third club from the Iberian Peninsula among the top 20 in the world, after Spain's Real Madrid and F.C. Barcelona.
