New business: On track to exceed the EUR 200m annual target

Growth continues to be supported by robust demand for tailored financing solutions across the international football industry. As of September 30th,2026, new business volume totaled EUR 171m, an increase of approximately 74% from EUR 98m in the prior-year period. Score Capital has completed almost EUR 70m in deal volume through a new refinancing partner, who further strengthen Score’s capacity to finance larger volume transactions and longer maturities.

“Demand for our financing solutions continues to grow across the international football market. By diversifying our refinancing base, we are unlocking additional business opportunities and are able to increasingly execute transactions with larger volume and longer terms,” said Stephan Schnippe, CEO of Score Capital AG.

Clubs in Europe’s “Big 5” leagues invested EUR 7.4bn in player acquisitions, approximately 6% more than in the prior record year. Total transfer spending by European professional clubs exceeded EUR 10bn for the first time, underscoring the structural demand for flexible, specialist financing solutions.
