SD Eibar Details Areitio Investment, Forecasts €5 Million Deficit for 2025/26

The club reports solid liquidity from past reserves, with investment income and cost cuts insufficient to counter falling TV revenue.

Overview

  • Areitio, Eibar’s first owned training complex, has been in use since July with five pitches across 110,000 m², and the main building is slated to finish at season’s end.
  • Project costs rose from an €18 million estimate to nearly €30 million, funded with club resources and CVC support, and framed as a long-term sporting and patrimonial asset.
  • The 2024/25 season closed with €1.9 million in losses, a 20% improvement on the budgeted deficit, as personnel expenses were cut about 45% over four years.
  • The 2025/26 budget anticipates roughly €5 million in losses excluding player-sale income, with business turnover down to about €10.2 million and TV rights weakening.
  • Net assets and cash stand near €47 million, financial investments generate around €2.5 million annually, the club seeks institutional aid for its women’s and social programs, and the AGM is set for November 27 at Ipurua.
