Celta Vigo has launched a key financial operation for its future, approving a first capital increase of 10 million euros for its Celta360 project. The General Shareholders' Meeting, to be held on 20 October, must ratify this measure, which could be expanded to 20 million.

This structure aims to contain financial costs, limit debt, and preserve the club's economic sustainability. The operation combines different financing and capital contribution formulas, giving current shareholders preferential subscription rights. Only if they do not cover the full amount could a new minority partner be incorporated, though Celta's shareholder control will remain unchanged.

The Celta360 Project

The initiative, currently in its second construction phase, is described by the club as one of its most strategic projects. "Celta360 is one of the club's most strategic projects and combines sports development with the generation of new business opportunities," the club said in a statement. Its goal is to expand Celta's growth base, strengthen its youth policy, and contribute to its long-term economic solidity. The new buildings of the complex are expected to become operational by the end of summer 2027, aiming to be a sports and business reference in Galicia and northern Portugal.

Revenue Record and Spending

At the same meeting, Celta will present accounts reflecting a historic milestone: consolidated revenue surpassed 100 million euros for the first time, reaching 106.2 million. This is a significant increase from the 73.9 million of the previous financial year. This growth comes in a complex sporting context, with the team sitting 18th in La Liga after six matchdays, with four points.

Spending on sports personnel grew by 13%, driven by salary improvements for the first team and coaching staff, plus performance-related bonuses. Investment in signings also increased, from 12.7 to 17.7 million euros. The squad's market value rose by 33% in one season, from 130 to 173 million.

Financial Situation

Despite the record turnover, the club recorded post-tax losses of 7.7 million euros as of 30 June 2026, a slight improvement from the 8.6 million loss the year before. However, it maintains a solid treasury position, with over 12.2 million euros, and has no debt with financial institutions. Last season saw no significant player sales.

This financial strategy, part of a structure of up to 125 million for Celta360, seeks to lay the foundations for the future while the team looks to turn its form around in the competition. The next fixture is against Racing Santander at Balaídos, a key match to secure the first three points of the season.
