Where do football clubs make money from? How does qualifying for Europe and winning a cup be beneficial??

they make money all sorts of way. selling tickets for matches, % of away gates, merchandise, food stalls inside the ground etc etc, also by selling players to clubs for more than they brought them. this is more benficial if the player has been at the club since academy/ youth stage as they would not have paid much to develope this player thus when seeling on make a profit.  It is beneificial to win a cup and get into europe because you are playing more games there fore you can expect more revenue from paying crowds. Also the tv rights paid to a club for this competition will be more and more the further they get in a competition and ultimately the prize money for that competition increases the further they go. Also with being on tv more and being more sucessful more people will know about them thus sparking an interest in merchandise this club will sell

i'm pretty sure that they don't get paid for playing on the world cup national teams. i do belive that the individual teams/countries do sometimes provide bonuses, but they aren't required to. \ni think for most of the players, it doesnt matter anyway. they all make good salaries for their club teams, and its an honor to be able to represent their country in the world cup.

Good question, but easy answere. The clubs get huge amounts of money every day from people buying the replica kits, people buying tickets, and any official merchandice of the club. Sponsers also pay the club for advertising agreements. Football clubs get loads of money from such companies and Sky Sports and FIFA PS2 Games, FIFA has to pay each club to use there name if it is copyrighted and it is very rare to find a club whos name is copyrighted these days. Heehee. =)

What most people like?  Why not choose a team you like- You know, style of play, price at the gates, friends who will support the same team, close to where you live or work, club history, club prestige, how likely they will get to play in top exciting matches \n\n- or you could be like some and just choose the team that is winning most at the moment  - but that would be sad ...and expensive...throw out all your man Utd gear (all three strips) now and buy the home and away Chelsea strips.  Who knows maybe you will be throwing those out and buying Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs shirts in a few years time.\n\nChoose a team you like to watch - and stick with them thick and thin.  The best teams are those with the loyal fans who keep behind their teams even through the bad times - look at West Ham, Spurs, Aston Villa, Newcastle - well supported but when was the last time any of them won anything? - so why do they retain such support?  You think about it my friend.

Are there really people out there who thought the US ever had a snowballs chance in hell of getting past the first group stage,every one in Europe knows better than that. But you should support your country in victory as well as defeat,so no reason not to party anyway as they did at least qualify for the competition and get to play some real teams.

because lots of things, first qualifications to the cup takes 1 and a half year, it cant be less because of the leagues of soccer, then there is the Eurocup, Copa America, Afrika cup (that is like the world cup but between teams of their own continent), players deserve a little bit of vacations between seasons, they need to find new players, it costs a lot to organize a world cup, make stadiums, get police, renew Hotels, etc\nWorld cup isnt a easy stuff

Yes its 18.7 million euros to the wiiner + money price from the federation of the winning country. So thats around 25 million Euros. So thats like 1 million euro prize money for each player that wins the cup. Around 1.4 million dollars. Some players will get all that money even thou they were benched the entire time!!!!\nIts good to represent ur country, even if it is on the bench. je je

They have good funds therefore can buy the good players that can have a good chemistry with other team players, their coach Jose Murinho is a very good coach that can make the money they have very useful, using it in very successful transfer deals. They have very good players that have a good chemistry together and are perfect for the Priemer league. The money they have isnt everything, Real Madrid had huge funds but were never as good as Chelsea right now because they only bought expensive players, while Chelsea buy average priced players but buy them with higher prices than they are really labeled by their previous clubs, but these players end up showing the huge potential they have because Jose Murinho gives them the ideal positions, tactics and game style causing them to play really well as a team rather than individually. He also has a very solid defense and a fast midfield therefore can make a very good use of the counter attacks, and as you can notice a large portion of Chelsea's goals come through counter attacks, also the age range for Chelsea's players is the ideal age, that is 23-27

Yeah, I would say you've pretty much missed the boat here.  You could try asking your local national football association I guess.\n\nOther than that, try going in for some competitions to win them, or get a Best Answer on Yahoo Answers!

Some players realise there's more than playing for a "better" club, its called LOYALTY!\n\nIts just a shame that more players dont have any of this and just follow the smell of cash and glory...

I don't think it will work. It's a very money driven business and there will always be so much money flying around. Clubs would start paing players illegally to keep them at the club. Or pay them in shares, they'd find a loophole.

At first they have to get qualified. Every team is allowed to take part at the qualification round, which is accepted by FIFA. At the beginning of the competition there is preliminary round. The 32th teams, which have been qualified, will get divide into groups (A-F). In each group the both best teams will survive. For every won game they earn 3 points, for every tie 1 point, for a lost game they will get none point! After the preliminary round the kick-out phase of the competition begins. The first of group A will meet the second from group B, the first in group B will meet the winner in group A (the same for group B and C, D and F and so on). Only the winner comes to the next round until the last two teams meet in the Final!\nNice greetings from Germany. I hope you could understand this post

Historically, there are many good clubs, based on their results, and how many Europe titels they claimed, UEFA for example, plus titles from their own country. \nFor example with UEFA Champion league:\nReal Madrid:  Nine times, and three as runner up\nAC Milan: six times, and four as runner up.

At our country, Argentina, is still amateur, and it is forbiden for the clubs to pay their players, you can get something playing for the national team though. I LIKE IT THAT WAY.

All in the name of money my friend.When the European Cup inugarated in 1956 the participants were the domestic Champions of all the European Leagues.But as Leagues such as Serie A,La Liga and The English League(now the Premiership) got stronger UEFA saw they could male money out of it by inviting the 2nd,3rd/4th place teams into the competition.And with Television and the G14 group this competition is one big money spinner that is worth £10m just for going into the Group Stage.This is the biggest Club Football Competition in the World.
