Important Financial Considerations
The top rate of personal income tax in Belgium is 50%
In the Belgian Pro League, players are generally paid on a gross basis.
This means that the salaries reported by the clubs are before taxes and
other deductions
According to FIFPRO data, the non-payment risk in the Belgian Pro
League is moderate. While many clubs are financially stable and
adhere to payment regulations, there have been reports of delayed or
unpaid wages, particularly among clubs experiencing financial
difficulties.
Joining the Belgian Pro League is an exciting opportunity and a significant
challenge for me. The league is well-regarded across Europe for
developing top talent and fostering a highly competitive atmosphere. I
have great respect for its innovation and vibrant football culture. I’m eager
to bring my experience to this dynamic environment while learning from
everything that makes Belgian football unique.

The Belgian Pro League is a competitive and technically
proficient league, ideal for creating a strong player development
pipeline and even regularly experiencing European competitions.
Being at the heart of Europe and in close proximity to the
biggest competitions in the game, the league attracts lots of
international talents both on the playing and coaching staff.
