Spanish LaLiga football club Valencia CF made a pre-tax profit of €2.2 million in the 2024/25 financial year, while the club also secured significant financing for the long-awaited Nou Mestalla stadium project.

Valencia CF said it made an operating profit of €23.8 million, up €7.8 million compared to the previous year’s profit of €16 million.

There was a slight decrease in revenue – €103.7 million compared to €106.9 million in the previous year – mainly due to the reduction in television rights revenue emanating from final LaLiga positions in recent seasons, as well as the distribution from the CVC agreement for 2024/25.

Ordinary operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amounted to €114.5 million.

Valencia CF or simply Valencia is a Spanish professional football club based in Valencia, Spain, which currently plays in LaLiga, the top tier of the Spanish football league system.

Valencia said that undoubtedly, the most significant aspect of the year is the resumption of construction of the Nou Mestalla after more than 15 years of inactivity.

The Nou Mestalla is the name of the new football stadium being built for Valencia CF in Valencia, Spain, intended to replace the current Mestalla Stadium.

Construction was halted for years due to financial reasons but resumed in January 2025 with an estimated completion date of summer 2027. When finished, it will have a capacity to accommodate 70,044 supporters and will feature advanced technology and will be high on the sustainability quotient.

The new stadium is a key economic and social milestone for the club, which, from its inauguration in 2027, will become a fundamental pillar for generating income and driving growth over the coming decades.

A major focus of the financial year was the successful restructuring of corporate debt and securing financing for the Nou Mestalla stadium.

In November 2024, Valencia completed a corporate debt restructuring exercise that settled all existing corporate financial debts and removed encumbrances, including the mortgage on the current Mestalla stadium.

The club secured a total of €322 million in financing for the new stadium project. This was structured through the issuance of notes for €237 million with a 28-year maturity and a five-year loan for €85 million.

The Nou Mestalla is projected to nearly triple the club’s annual income from the stadium, with significant increases expected in ticketing, VIP boxes and naming rights.

The Nou Mestalla will offer 13 times more hospitality than its current offering, reaching more than 6,500 premium seats – almost 10 percent of the total capacity of the stadium – equipped with the highest exclusivity and personalization.

This historic expansion not only reinforces Valencia CF’s commitment to excellence but also ensures that the new stadium meets the recommendations established by LaLiga and positions itself among the most advanced sporting venues in Europe.
