As for the annual salary of B-Leaguers, the conclusion is that it has not been disclosed. However, as in the case of professional baseball, the salary is sometimes reported as an estimated salary based on a tip from a related party. Kawamura, who renewed his three-year contract with Yokohama BC, is said to be paid 300 million yen over three years. (Quotes)
This time we will talk based on the 2021 B1 club top team labor cost data released by the B League.
The first surprise is A Tokyo’s labor costs. This season, A Tokyo lost in the quarterfinals and money makes it difficult to win a championship, which is an interesting aspect of the sports business. But I didn’t realize there was such a big gap…
As can be seen from the stats, the winners and losers are still heavily dependent on foreign players, and the annual salaries of foreign players have skyrocketed considerably. (especially the naturalization quota)
According to the Spanish sports media “RELEVO,” there is an article in which Shiga Lakes head coach Gomez comments that Hawkinson, who played a big role in the World Cup, will have a total income of 2.5 million dollars (about 350 million at the current rate) (quoted in the article). The message would be that the annual salary is not inferior to that of European leagues. So Japan has the capital strength.
Up to 14 bench registrations (including special youth development quota), with the assumption that up to 3 foreign nationals and a naturalization or Asian quota of 1-ian (e.g. Italian, etc.) (attaches to the name of the country) are allowed on the bench. There is a condition. Assuming that the annual salaries of the foreign nationals, naturalized citizens, and Asian players are 0.5~100 million yen, it is expected that a large amount of personnel expenses are consumed for these quotas. (My estimate is 70~80% for the foreign, naturalized citizen, and Asian quota. Is that too much?) Since we are playing with numbers, you can probably guess some of the annual salaries of Japanese players from the projections.
This data is for FY2021. The data is for fiscal year 2021, and since the fiscal year 2023 season begins in October, it is expected that labor costs will have increased significantly. As reported in the previous article, Chiba has FY2022,Sales are up 18%, which will be passed on to labor costs.
Currently there is no salary cap and it is a ceiling, but with “B. Innovation” there will be a salary cap, so it will be interesting to see how much the annual salary will increase by then. Now it’s becoming a dream job. It’s the best.
