Briefings

An analysis of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from the Portuguese national team reveals that while the Football Federation's financial reports show a 53.8 million euro increase in 'other income' from 2024-25, the specific economic impact of his removal remains unquantified. The study by IPAM attributes the team's notoriety to a 850 million euro brand value, but without direct data on revenue loss or contract renegotiation costs, any financial attribution is speculative. The evidence highlights a critical gap between intangible brand assets and measurable accounting outcomes, emphasizing that management must anticipate risks before they materialize in financial statements.

Key points

• The Portuguese Football Federation's 2024-25 financial reports show a 53.8 million euro increase in 'other income' compared to the previous period, but this figure does not isolate the economic impact of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure.
• A 2025 IPAM study assigns a 850 million euro value to the Cristiano Ronaldo brand through the Sports Reputation Index, yet this value does not equate to direct financial benefits captured by any related entity.

Context

The case examines how organizations manage intangible assets like reputation and talent, using the Portuguese national team's financial shift as a case study. The IPAM study provides a quantitative value for the brand, while the FPF reports show a general revenue increase, creating a gap in understanding the specific economic consequences of the player's exit.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to the 2024-25 FPF financial reports and the 2025 IPAM study, which do not contain data on specific revenue losses, contract renegotiation costs, or direct financial impacts of the player's departure. Any conclusions about economic consequences remain speculative without direct evidence of materialization.
