According to the Resource Based View of the Firm (RBV), of resources that can facilitate business performance, stand out intangible assets - category that fits the most representative of the assets of football clubs, according to the indications literature.Despite the mandatory accounting records in many countries, national and international studies show that the disclosure of intangible assets in the financial statements of entities in general, and especially in sports entities, has been superficial, not including all items required by accounting standards, implying a low quality informational entities in the accounting reports of this type of asset. Based on the arguments offered in the literature on fledgling accounting disclosure of intangible assets for the sports entities, the present study aimed to investigate patterns of association between intangible assets with accounting disclosure and economic performance of brazilian and european soccer clubs listed on the Club World Ranking. Regarding the methodological procedures, this research is classified as exploratory-descriptive as to the objectives; documental and bibliographical, as to the techniques; and predominantly quantitative, on the approach of the problem.
