General Director of Dynamo Dmytro Brif spoke about the club’s budget.
— I understand that you might not give an exact amount, but what is the club’s current budget?
— Why not? Since we are already talking about it and you have waited so long for this interview. Look, everything is generally transparent for us. We regularly submit reports. Our financial year 2024 is completely closed. We will then provide you with specific figures.
Last year, the club incurred expenses of 1.6 billion UAH, which corresponds to 36.5 million euros. Of this amount, only the taxes related to salary payments totaled 212 million UAH (4.86 million euros) and 17 million UAH (390 thousand euros) in other taxes, the majority of which are land taxes. We have three facilities on large plots of land.
Also, there were 32.6 million UAH (761 thousand euros) in utility payments — gas, electricity, water. And almost 155 million UAH (3.53 million euros) spent on the teams' participation in competitions and training camps. This includes travel, registration fees, referee payments, stadium rentals, team flights. So these are colossal expenses.
At the same time, the amount spent in the first 8 months of 2025 has already exceeded 1 billion UAH (22.3 million euros), of which taxes alone amount to 191 million UAH (4.15 million euros) and over 50 million UAH (1.1 million euros) in utility payments.
So the club’s budget stands at an average of 35−40 million euros per year. This does not account for potential transfer expenses and significant infrastructure modernization. If you have time, we can discuss all of this in more detail.
