Our investigation explores the asymmetric association between sports facilities investment and football revenue in the top 10 nations with the highest sports facilities investment. This study employs a distinctive methodology, “Quantile‐on‐Quantile,” to probe the interconnectedness of time series within each country. The findings reveal that investments in sports facilities have a predominantly positive impact on football revenue in the selected economies, particularly in various segments of the data distribution. It underscores the importance of implementing policies that maximize the effect of sports facilities investment on football revenue and inform public policy decisions.

“…Second, actual transfer fees and other observable quantitative data have been used as explanatory or control variables in various empirical settings. Without claiming to be exhaustive, it is useful to point out some examples and to refer to articles that have tested the role of transfer fees on ticket prices (Quansah et al, 2023) or stock market prices and returns (Fűrész & Rappai, 2022), but also the effect of Transfermarkt values on attendance (Baydina et al, 2021;Goller & Krumer, 2020;Schreyer et al, 2016;Serrano et al, 2015), club valuation (Scelles et al, 2016) or team performance (Massaro et al, 2019;Scelles & Khanmoradi, 2023). This snapshot of the variety of topics investigated highlights the importance of the soundness of the data and concepts related to football player valuation.…”

Football players represent the key assets of football clubs, and their value determination is therefore at the heart of clubs' investment and decision‐making processes. Unsurprisingly, the topic of player value has attracted the attention of scholars from various disciplines for decades. Despite this, there is a corpus of academic literature, which, although it works empirically with the relevant data, does not discuss any of the concepts related to the terms ‘value’ and ‘price’ in depth. Conversely, there are studies that do so but do not present a unified and coherent concept of the terminologies used. Consequently, no comprehensive definition of the value of football players seems to emerge from the literature. The central aim of this paper is to fill this gap. Based on a critical review of existing literature, we propose a unified framework embedded in subjective value theory, particularly as formulated by the Austrian school of economics. As a result, this work presents a theoretical basis for defining the use value and market value of football players, the comparison of which can improve clubs' decision‐making. In this context, we also discuss the conceptual validity of Transfermarkt values, a widely used crowd‐sourced valuation tool. Overall, we seek to strengthen the link between economic theory and practical management problems in the football industry. Furthermore, our results are not solely limited to football but are also applicable to athlete valuation in other sports.
