Real Madrid top Index of Transparency of Football Clubs

Madrid earned 100 points, the highest score of Primera and Segunda División teams.

Real Madrid have topped the Index of Transparency of Football Clubs (INFUT), which was presented on Tuesday by the organisation Transparency International Spain. The club totals 100 points, which together with that of Éibar represents the highest score accrued. After analysing all Primera División and Segunda División teams in the country, the INFUT saw 17 achieve the pass mark (50 points).

The INFUT measures the level of transparency of clubs via 60 indicators divided into five areas: information on the club; relations with members, fans and the general public; financial transparency; transparency in procurement and supply; and indicators within the Transparency Act.

For each indicator, the clubs received a score between 0 and 1 depending on whether or not the relevant information was published on its website. Using this data, Transparency International Spain - which explains that the INFUT does not gauge the quality of the information or the quality of the management, but only whether the information is available - has produced a final ranking.

Excellence
In recent years, Real Madrid have put into practice a commitment towards excellence in transparency and good governance, which includes organisation and management processes, control systems, corporate responsibility, compliance programmes and a code of ethics. This commitment is organised around the club's Transparency Portal, through which it publishes and presents an ambitious body of data that exceeds the requirements of the Act 19/2013 on Transparency, and of the aforementioned INFUT indicators. 

This is the ranking of the 2014-15 Liga BBVA teams in the Index of Transparency of Football Clubs:
