AB Since the end of the 20th century football has become an ever-expanding business, especiallyin European economies. It has created internal pressures in the systemization of processes,regulatory control, professionalization of tasks and organizational modernization in general.In addition, the increasing social weight of football has led to calls for more ethical andresponsible business practice, more consistent with the contemporary social values currentlygaining ground in other sectors. From this perspective, we assess the reactions of the Spanishprofessional football sector to the compulsory application of responsible corporatemanagement criteria (Economic Control Regulation). We carried out a study of the cominginto effect of such regulation in professional clubs financial performance in two seasons,2010-11 and 2014-15 (before and after, respectively, the imposition of the ECR). Ourfindings show a marked improvement in financial indicators.
