The concept of the business model of football clubs on the example of Legia Warsaw

Business model is a concept that has been used in the sciences for about 20 years. In general, a business model can be regarded as a certain (more or less detailed) description or characterization of a business idea. The main objective of this paper is to develop a concept and evaluate the possibility of using the Osterwalder and Pigneur business model to describe how a football club operates, using the example of Legia Warszawa (hereinafter: Warsaw). The key elements of the business model in the reality of Legia Warsaw's operation were described, which resulted in a graphical representation of the Canvas Model.
