The research project - commissioned by the SPFL, SWPL and Scottish FA - found the Scottish football sector contributed £545m in gross value added (GVA) and supported 9,245 full time equivalent (FTE) jobs throughout the Scottish economy as part of the Institute’s assessment of the 2023/24 season.

And that rose to £820m GVA and 14,315 FTE jobs after including fan spend related to matches across the country.
