Vegalta Sendai - Finances

Finances

Despite leading J2 in attendance for the past three years, the club has struggled financially since being relegated from J1. In 2005, the team ran a deficit of 163 million yen, the only year since joining the J. League that they failed to turn a profit. Up until the closing date of the 2006 season (January 31, 2007), the team was projecting a 150 million yen deficit. However, the transfer fee for Borges was enough to drive them into the black for the season. The total profit in 2006 was 27 million yen.
