Despite finishing third in the NPFL Super Six play-offs, which ensured their qualification to this year’s CAF confederation cup competition, Rivers United earned the highest income in the 2022-23 season ahead of league winners Enyimba and other NPFL teams.
Most of the income generated by these clubs came from participating in the Nigeria Premier League and Pre season tournaments, while further advancements in CAF competitions played a major role.
However, income earned from sponsorship deals and gate fees were not put into consideration due to difficulties in achieving a standardised financial record across board.
The Pride of Rivers went furthest on the continent amongst the four Nigeria’s representatives, which majorly boosted their earnings as compared to the other NPFL clubs.
Rivers United were knocked out of the CAF confederations cup quarterfinals by Young Africans of Tanzania which earned them the sum of N254 million and a total earnings of N264 million for the 2022-23 season.
Enyimba are the second highest earners with N150 million having been boosted with the N100 million prize money for winning the Nigerian league.
Shooting Stars SC of Ibadan came out third with N120 million as they emerged champions of the Dozy mmobousi super cup, a pre-season competition, which came with a prize money of N100 Million.
