The global football market has grown in the past three decades, and football clubs' sustainable financial operations have gradually gained attention. This study aims to construct a financial risk assessment model applicable to the football industry, explore globally listed football clubs' overall financial operating characteristics, and analyse the leading causes of the club's financial crisis. We selected a sample of 24 currently listed football clubs worldwide and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) model to construct the model of financial risk assessment for football clubs. The model identified and classified the financial risk components for listed football clubs, thus facilitating risk warning and prevention for modern professional clubs. This study found that football clubs are at higher financial risk overall, with the following general characteristics: (1) small amount of listed capital; (2) high asset-liability ratio; (3) low net profits and a large proportion of clubs make losses; and (4) weak asset liquidity. Finally, the study discussed the leading causes of the financial crises of football clubs in both external and internal dimensions, providing a reference for the self-sustainability of clubs and football authorities.

Previous studies have demonstrated that public subsidies can increase participation rates in sports clubs. The effectiveness of funding in increasing participation rates depends on multiple factors, such as geographic location, the size of the sports club, and the socio-economic conditions of the population.
