Club requires substantial upfront capital and high recurring fixed costs, averaging around $512,000 per month in 2026 This high burn rate is driven primarily by player and coaching salaries, which account for roughly 63% of monthly operating expenses Fixed costs like the stadium lease ($100,000\/month) and league affiliation fees ($25,000\/month) total $153,000 monthly, establishing a high baseline regardless of game attendance While revenue streams—tickets, merchandise, and sponsorships—are forecasted to grow from $56 million in 2026, the club faces a significant initial deficit The model shows the club needs a cash buffer of nearly $19 million to cover losses until profitability is achieved, projected 15 months after launch (March 2027) You must defintely secure capital to cover this deficit and the initial capital expenditures, which total over $1 million in 2026\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
