A Portuguese football federation faces uncertainty about revenue loss after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, as his global brand value has grown significantly. A 2025 study estimates his brand value at 850 million euros, up from 200 million in 2020, representing a 325% increase over five years. Ronaldo's influence extends beyond football, acting as a global communication platform for Portugal, with over 648 million followers on social media alone. The federation lost its primary individual asset, but the study suggests the brand could evolve into a collective narrative involving future players and a broader portfolio of investments and partnerships.
Key points
- A 2025 study by IPAM estimates Cristiano Ronaldo's brand value at 850 million euros, representing a 325% increase from 200 million euros in 2020.
- Ronaldo's influence extends beyond football, with over 648 million followers on social media platforms alone, acting as a global communication platform for Portugal.
Context
The article discusses the potential financial impact of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure on the Portuguese football federation's revenue streams, based on a 2025 study conducted at IPAM. The study identifies four economic dimensions of Ronaldo's value: footballer, sponsored, influencer, and investor, suggesting the federation lost its primary individual asset but may benefit from a broader, collective narrative.
Limitations
The study's findings are based on a 2025 IPAM analysis and do not account for future revenue changes or specific contract details. The article does not provide data on the federation's current revenue figures, the specific value of the 2020 brand, or the exact financial impact of the federation's loss of Ronaldo's individual asset.
