CORPORATE NEWS | LIBERO football finance AG
Frankfurt am Main, 24 April 2026 / 07:00 CET/CEST
The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement. Publication of the 2025
Annual Financial Statements
LIBERO football finance AG announces the publication of its 2025 annual financial
statements:
1. LIBERO football finance AG closed the 2025 financial year with a net
loss of EUR 886,000.
2. LIBERO football finance AG announces that the auditor has refused to issue an
audit opinion on the annual financial statements and the management report for the
2025 financial year, as was also the case for the 2023 and 2024 annual financial
statements (see announcements dated 30 January 2025 and 15 August 2025). The
annual financial statements were approved by the Supervisory Board on 16 April
2026 and are therefore adopted.
3. The refusal to issue an audit opinion on the 2025 financial statements, like the refusal
to issue an audit opinion on the 2023 and 2024 financial statements, is attributable to
the legal proceedings still pending in Spain in connection with the strategic
partnership with FC Barcelona planned for 2023. The Company had reported on the
legal proceedings and related developments on several occasions. As previously
reported by the Company, a positive settlement and partial resolution had already been
reached in the legal proceedings regarding a partial amount of approximately EUR 25
million. With regard to the outstanding portion of the transaction amounting to
approximately EUR 15 million, the Company has been and continues to be in
discussions with FC Barcelona with the aim of settling this remaining part of the legal
proceedings as well. Based on the ongoing discussions, the Management Board
expects a final settlement to be reached in 2026.
4. For the current financial year 2026, the company will continue to implement its
newly aligned corporate strategy as an international specialist and innovator in the
operation of a marketplace for football financing and other services for football clubs,
as well as an investor in the football sector, with the aim of achieving a sustainable
increase in the company’s value and thus securing economic success. The Board of
Directors believes the company is well-equipped for this and looks forward with
confidence to the company’s future development. A press release regarding the
commencement of business operations and first revenues was published on 17 March
2026.
5. The 2025 annual financial statements will be available for download on the
company’s website from approximately 09:00.
