Performance year-to-date

The champions

Taking first place in our league table is the Portuguese club Benfica, which has seen an impressive 108.75% increase since the start of the year, a far more significant change than any other club.

FC Copenhagen sits in second place, with an overall increase of 49.61% in 2025. Porto takes third place, rising by 41.82% since the start of the year, while shares in Borussia Dortmund have risen by 13.79% so far in 2025.

The relegation zone

In our fictional league table, 3 football stocks would be firmly at risk of ‘relegation’: Man United, Juventus and Ajax.

Man United is down -9.42% since the start of the year, putting them in last place! Although they are one of the most popular football teams in the world, Man United have had struggles on the pitch this year, and this is mirrored in the club’s stock price.
Shares in Juventus have also had a disappointing run so far this year, with the price down -1.34%. There is a similar story for Juventus, with its share price up just 1.24% from the start of the year.
