About

Capital Fútbol explains the money and power behind football: who owns the clubs, how financial regulation actually works, and who governs the sport.

How we work

Every figure we publish comes from a verifiable primary source: club annual accounts, UEFA club licensing reports, LaLiga's published salary limits, the Deloitte Football Money League, and court filings. Sources are listed at the foot of every article.

We don't publish transfer rumours, match reports or speculation. Football finance carries a lot of confidently repeated numbers that were never checked. Our rule is simple: if we can't link the source, we don't publish the claim.

Why two languages

The Spanish press covers football finance in depth, but rarely in English. English-language football finance media rarely reads Spanish sources. We publish each analysis natively in both languages — not as machine translation.

Who writes this

Hi, I'm Andre John Ojumu, the creator of Capital Fútbol.

I'm a final-year Informatics Engineering student based in Madrid. As a long-time follower of Spanish football — growing up watching Real Madrid, Barça and the big derbies — and an active futsal player myself, the sport has always been a constant in my life.

What drew me to the financial side of football was curiosity. I realised that the 90 minutes we watch on the pitch are only the surface. Behind every match is a machine of power structures, financial regulations and capital flows that dictates the future of the game, and that is usually either hidden from the public or half-explained.

Combining the analytical rigour of my engineering background with my experience running international sports data analytics projects, I built Capital Fútbol. The goal isn't transfer rumours or weekend match reports. It's to translate annual club accounts, explain LaLiga's salary limits using real data, and break down the forces that actually govern modern football.
