Important Financial Considerations
The top rate of personal income tax in Denmark is 52.07%
In the Danish Superliga, players are generally paid on a gross basis.
This means that the reported salaries represent the total amount
before taxes and other deductions.
According to FIFPRO data, the non-payment risk in the Danish
Superliga is low. Instances of unpaid salary are rare.
The Danish Superliga is in a fantastic period with solid talent
development, good quality on the pitch, many spectators in the
stands, and increasing viewership on TV and other platforms.
Ownership and management are trying out new and interesting
strategic paths in the operation of the clubs. Denmark started late
with professional football, but in recent decades it has come on par
with comparable European countries.

Over the past 25 years, the Danish Superliga has developed
significantly, both in terms of sports and economics. The Superliga
now boasts professional management, modern stadiums, and a
spectator increase of over 50% for most clubs. Denmark’s leading club,
which plays at the national stadium, PARKEN, now attracts around
30,000 spectators to their matches. Additionally, Danish clubs have
made their mark in European competitions. In 2024, the Superliga can
reasonably be compared to the Belgian and Dutch leagues.
