Aston Villa post £17m profit after record revenue, sales underpin PSR compliance | OneFootball

Aston Villa recorded a post-tax profit of £17m for 2024-25, reversing more than £200m of combined losses over the previous two years.

The club said in a statement that revenue hit a record £378.1m, more than £100m up year on year, and that they have made significant progress towards sustainability while staying within the Premier League’s PSR.

The bottom line was aided by the sales of the women’s team and The Warehouse at Villa Park to parent company V Sports, run by co-owners Nassef Sawiris, Wes Edens and Michael Angelakis.

Participation in the Champions League brought in £72m in prize money by reaching the quarter-finals. Commercial revenue rose to £70m, up 69 per cent, and sponsorship climbed 31 per cent to £28.6m after new deals with Adidas and Betano. Ticket prices for home Champions League matches reached £96.

Capital investment of nearly £70m focused on hospitality at Villa Park, new retail stores, the 3,500-capacity Warehouse, and Bodymoor Heath upgrades including a rehabilitation centre and a permanent base for the women’s team. Work is under way on the North Stand to take capacity beyond 50,000 for the 2028 European Championships.

Despite the revenue surge, Villa would have been at serious risk of a breach without those sales. The transactions are excluded from UEFA’s calculations, and financial fair play remains their biggest ongoing challenge after a £9.5m fine last summer and a settlement that tightens future loss limits.
