Liverpool Football Club boosted the Liverpool City Region economy by £497m GVA during the 2017-18 season, according to a report compiled by Deloitte's Sports Business Group.
The report highlights the economic impact LFC’s matches and day-to-day activities had on the city, the Liverpool City Region and the United Kingdom as a whole for the campaign.
Last season, the city itself felt the impact of £454m GVA (gross value added) and £575m looking at the UK as a whole.
GVA is a useful measure for understanding the economic contribution made by a business or industry to gross domestic product (GDP).
