One of the greatest obstacles that the NFL has had in introducing football globally is that many people outside of the United States and Canada find the rules complex and confusing. To help teach people more about football, the NFL designed an interactive website platform which teaches fans the fundamentals of American football (Hardcastle, 2012). The website seeks to directly address the queries, making it highly interactive. This website also serves as a foundation for advertising and promotional decisions; it can show executives which areas of the world are visiting the site, and showing interest in football which helps for deciding which venues to select for future NFL International games. The website also assists in identifying individuals with similar characteristics that have significant implications for the determination of marketing strategies; market segmentation (Market Segmentation, 2002-2010).

The UEFA Financial Fair Play (FFP) Regulations have come to terms in 2009 and it has been widely discussed due to the nature of the rules that was imposed on the clubs. The aim of this short essay would be to discuss the impacts of FFP Regulations on the competitive balance in European Football. The first section of this essay is an introduction to the UEFA FFP Regulations. Second, we briefly introduce the Fort and Quirk Model that will be used to analyse the effects on competitive balance. Thirdly, we look at findings from sports economists on the FFP Regulations. The final section will be a conclusion and summary on the effects of UEFA FFP Regulations on the competitive balance of the leagues.

The purpose of this case is to illustrate the importance of understanding cost behavior in calculating the profit/contribution of the Craddock Cup. Within this context, the case asks whether the tournament should be continued, expanded or dropped. In addition, the case provides a vehicle to discuss allocation procedures and the concept of sunk costs. Finally, the case furnishes an opportunity to develop cost-volume-profit analysis within the context of relevant costs and revenues.

With the number of clubs which have participated in the UEFA competition over the past 12 years, a sample size of 6 teams will be selected for this dissertation. These clubs who must abide by Financial Fair Play regulations to participate in their competitions are Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham. It is also important to note that all clubs selected in this analysis has expense greater than €45 million, as UEFA’s break-even rule is subject to an exception of an acceptable deviation up to €45 million if the shortfall is covered by equity investment. As the Financial Fair Play has been in existence since 2010, financial statements and balance sheets for the selected clubs and the league have been

In this ethnography I am going to climax on the characteristics that make the Champions club so exclusive and

Although, the case study of Manchester United gives us a good example of a brand’s ability to globalize, it does not give us a clear picture into how a league as a whole accomplishes these same goals. To get this clear picture of a successful global soccer league we can review a case study by Matthew Holt that examines the UEFA Champions League and its ability to succeed. The UEFA Champions League(UCL) was established after the UEFA European cup started to see more revenue increases based on the increase in television and digital technologies. (Holt, 2007) The goal of the UCL was to increase revenue through a newly structured European club soccer league. The first way that UCL accomplished this was through centralized marketing. This was accomplished through selling the television rights as the UCL brand rather than allowing the clubs to individually sell the rights to the games. This increased the value of the television rights and in turn increased the profitability of the clubs. (Holt, 2007) UEFA sold this UCL brand

In the past two decades, professional sports have skyrocketed to the top of the world’s cultural hierarchy. In an age where online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu are leeching viewers from conventional television networks, professional sports have witnessed almost unprecedented growth. According to a 2011 study by A.T. Kearney, the sports industry is growing faster than overall GDP in developed countries such as America (Collington, Sultan, and Santander,“The Sports Market”), and the 2015 Super Bowl was the most watched television broadcast in American history (Pallotta, “Super Bowl XLIX posts the largest audience in TV history”). As the amount of money and attention poured into this booming industry grows, the influence of its

In this assignment I will be exploring the ways in which Internal and external factors have an impact on the core revenues of Clubs and how clubs themselves can potentially help put the factors in their favour. Topics such as Fans and their behaviour and Player conduct on and off the pitch will be explored. Things that can occur which clubs have little or no power over – such as a major political shift – which can affect a clubs income will also be covered.

As there are many important variables in this decision process that are not under the direct control of the sports marketer such as the players performance or lack of competition in match, it is vital to ensure that fans enjoy a positive experience. It is necessary in an increasingly competitive and cluttered sporting landscape to strategically manage the variables that are under the control of sports marketers. It is essential to the sports marketer to understand which dimensions spectators perceive as important (Michael D. Clemes, 2011).

Formerly known as the European Champions Clubs’ Cup (European Cup) the UCL was the result of a measured overhaul of European football, in response to advances in technology, namely satellite television. The challenge the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) faced was how best to oversee this transitional phase whilst maintaining the crucial brand equity attached to the ‘European Cup’ brand name.

Some European football clubs have in, approximately in the last three decades, developed from being relatively small local organizations, into global giants in terms of multi-million businesses supported and followed by millions of stakeholders from all over the world. How does one relate
