AFC Ajax has doubled its turnover during the FY 2018/19 to €199.5m ($219.1m), which has been largely attributed to its performance in the Champions League (CL) October 2 when the club reached the semi-final stage. This led to payments from UEFA of €77.9m along with an additional €15.3m from European ticketing revenue. However, turnover from television and digital revenue, excluding CL, fell by €800,000 YoY to €10.6m, highlighting the potential impact of digital and disruption of broadcast markets within Europe.
