German football continues to prosper

Germany's top football league has achieved record revenues for the 10th season in a row, the German Football League (DFL) said on Thursday.

There was revenue of 2.45 billion euros ($A3.51 billion) in the 2013-2014 season, up 12.9 per cent over the previous year, figures in the 2015 Bundesliga Report show.

Thirteen of the 18 clubs operated profitably last season, one more than the previous year. Overall 24 of the 36 first and second-division clubs made a profit after tax.

"Looking forward, the outlook remains upbeat as Bundesliga's economic growth is continuing unabated," Bundesliga chief executive Christian Seifert said.

Seifert said turnover next season looked set to cross the 2.5-billion-euro threshold for the first time.
