Financial Management in Sport Organizations

Designed for sports executives and managers seeking to strengthen their financial expertise, this intermediate-level course covers the core principles of financial management as applied to sport organisations. Topics span the interpretation of financial statements — including balance sheets, income accounts, and cash flow — alongside financial planning, project investment and assessment, and public and private financing mechanisms. The programme is structured around practical case studies and exercises, making it relevant for professionals responsible for the day-to-day financial direction of a sports organisation.

Delivered entirely online by the Johan Cruyff Institute, the course runs for ten weeks and requires a recommended commitment of ten to twelve hours per week, carrying six ECTS credits. The methodology combines a theoretical phase, a practical phase, and a concluding personal project, supported by live webinars, tutor guidance, and a virtual campus. Participants who complete the course receive a blockchain-verified Certificate in Financial Management in Sport Organizations from the Johan Cruyff Institute. Tuition is available in English or Spanish.
