Valencia Basket increases investment to grow alongside Roig Arena 

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Valencia Basket Club SAD today approved the accounts for the 2024–2025 season and the budget for the upcoming 2025–2026 season. For the current season, the budget for the men’s team is just under 9.5 million euros net, while the women’s team’s budget stands at 1,250,000 euros net. With the historic milestone represented by the move to the Roig Arena and the obligation to make the most of it to offer fans the best possible product, the club has had to make a major investment in resources—both physical and human—and thanks to this, and to the important contribution of the Patrons, an increased budget forecast has been approved for the entire sports joint-stock company (Valencia Basket).

At the meeting, as happens every year, only the data referring exclusively to the SAD (Valencia Basket) were detailed; therefore, the economic activity of L’Alqueria del Basket is not taken into account.

For the already completed 24/25 season, an expenditure of 26,950,000 euros has been approved, a figure significantly affected by costs derived from the DANA storm, as the club assumed part of the season-ticket refunds for those affected, as well as aid to employees, among other initiatives. In the forecast for the newly started 25/26 season, and with the enormous challenge posed by the move to the new arena, the budget rises to 35 million euros, including the men’s and women’s first teams, the youth academy, the school, and all expenses related to the management of the club. Investment in resources and personnel stemming from the transition to the Roig Arena is the item that grows the most and is the main reason for this increase.

The budget for the first teams for this season is set at just under 9.5 million euros (net) for the men’s team and 1.25 million euros (net) for the women’s team. To these figures, one must add salary-related taxes, federation and competition participation fees, travel expenses, and possible bonuses, resulting in the total cost of both teams to the club.

Both last season’s budget and the current campaign are balanced thanks to the revenue generated by the Club and the renewed significant support of Patrons Juan Roig and Hortensia Herrero. Their contribution last season was set at 19 million euros, a reflection that their commitment to the project remains intact—now more than ever with the Roig Arena as the operations hub.

In addition to that major contribution, the Club continues to generate a significant amount of its own income. Through ticketing, sponsorship, merchandising, and commercial activities, Valencia Basket generated 11 million euros in revenue last season, also including what was generated through L’Alqueria del Basket.

The Taronja Family wishes to thank all the sponsors who have maintained their support, and especially Juan Roig and Hortensia Herrero, for their tireless backing and efforts so that Valencia can continue enjoying top-level basketball that nurtures its roots through L’Alqueria del Basket. Thanks to their support for the Roig Arena as well, the project now has a solid infrastructure full of possibilities that helps establish new long-term objectives, such as becoming a leading destination for leisure and entertainment through basketball, taking the user experience to another level. The General Shareholders’ Meeting has ratified the budgets with a representation of 71,84% of the shares.
