Abstract:
Given the role and impact of sports on economic growth, corporate financial factors such as brand value, equity, operating income, business revenues through television rights and ticket sales directly impact the performance of major football clubs. Effective financial management not only improves the quality of the squad but also motivates players and increases support from fans. Based on the resource-based view theory RBV, the study was conducted to investigate the impact of financial factors such as revenue, operating income, shareholder equity, and brand value on team performance (winning matches and goals per season) of Big-Six clubs in the Premier League. This study was conducted using a quantitative research method through collecting secondary data in a period of 11 years (2013-2023) of 6 clubs including Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. Through SPSS 27 software, the study found a positive impact of brand value and shareholder equity, while revenue showed a negative impact on team performance. Besides, the study did not find an impact between operating income and team performance. Based on the above research results, some important management and policy implications have been proposed to promote team performance of Big-Six clubs in the Premier League through better management of revenue, equity and brand value of these clubs.
Keywords: Big-Six clubs, brand value, Premier League, shareholder equity, team performance.
