Unknown part of football: how much do clubs get for advertising on jerseys?

830 million euros. That's the total amount of contracts with main sponsors whose logos are on the front of jerseys in the top European football leagues in the 2015-2016 season.

A study by the company Repucom shows that the English Premier League leads the way: its clubs received 330 million euros for the logos of title sponsors, compared to 244 million euros the previous season.

In second place is the German Bundesliga - 168 million euros (up from 157 million), followed by Spain's La Liga - 105 million euros (down from 113 million).

France (103; previously 96), Italy (83; previously 84) and the Netherlands (41; previously 42) are further down the list.

The most active investors in football remain companies from the United Arab Emirates - 163 million euros. They are followed by companies from Germany (136 million) and the USA (87 million).

The biggest contracts are signed with companies in the tourism industry, car manufacturers, and banks or insurance companies.
