Aberdeen announce £4m loss in latest club accounts despite record turnover following Euro run

Aberdeen posted a £4m loss despite record £24.4m turnover, citing poor on-pitch performance and heavy investment in the squad.

Aberdeen's latest annual accounts reveal a £4m financial loss, nearly double the £2.1m deficit from the previous year, with operating losses jumping to £6.2m from £1.5m. The club blamed continued investment in the football operation, rising player wages, transfer activity and a disappointing 2025/26 season that saw them finish ninth in the Scottish Premiership and miss the top six for the third time in four years.

Despite the poor league performance, Aberdeen achieved record turnover of £24.4m, boosted by their Europa League and Conference League participation following qualification at the start of the season. Partnership revenue also hit a record £1.8m, while season ticket sales reached 11,500 and AberDNA membership surpassed 10,000 for the first time.

Chairman Dave Cormack acknowledged the disappointing results reflected the challenges of the season, stating the board's heavy investment in the football department did not deliver the expected return. The club's majority shareholders injected an additional £8m in June 2025, demonstrating long-term commitment despite the financial setback.

Aberdeen are currently 11th in the Premiership and searching for a new manager after sacking Stephen Robinson on Monday.
