NFL team Dallas Cowboys are now the most valuable sports team in the
World according to Forbes annual list of most Valuable sports franchises
released this week.
This is the first time since Forbes began compiling their annual top 50
lists of the most valuable sports teams in the world, that a
non-football team will be topping it's list.
Manchester United held the crown of most valuable in 2011 and 2012, and
Real Madrid did so the last three years, but on this time American
football outfit Dallas Cowboys rank first with a value of $4billion
(£3.31bn).
Real Madrid's fall from top of the list comes despite a value of $3.65bn
(£2.76bn) and a 12% increase in value from last year, when they
featured at the summit of the list.
Real Madrid stocked with a pantheon of stars led by the world's
highest-paid athlete Cristiano Ronaldo, tops a group of eight football
clubs on the list.
NFL franchises make up 27 of the 50 most valuable sports teams in the
world in 2016's rankings, with Real Madrid down to second, Barcelona in
third (having been fourth in 2015), and Man United staying in fifth.
