“…In many countries, football is frequently shown on TV. Accordingly, watching successes of the male national football team increases football participation at the grassroots level [74]. A similar effect was evident for watching games of the 2002 Football World Cup on TV [58].…”

“…In the literature discussing the need for increased capacities in grassroots sports, one target group is mentioned frequently, i.e., children and youth. Especially the capacity to cater for new participants among children and youth is relevant for TDE to unfold [74]. Previous research has highlighted the role of investments to facilitate children's participation [52] and the importance of coaches and leaders in clubs for increasing children's participation [57].…”

“…Not only hosting of events, but also sporting success and athlete role models were found to have an inspirational effect especially for children and youth. For example, following Australia's qualification for the 2006 World Cup (which was considered a success for Australia), a positive trend in football participation of children and youths was observed [74]. In Danish handball, a positive effect of the success of the men's and women's national team on children's memberships was documented, while for adults, even a few negative effects were evident [76].…”

Policy makers often legitimize bids for major sport events and public funding of elite sports by trickle-down effects, suggesting that hosting events, sporting success, and athlete role models inspire the population to participate themselves in sport and physical activity. According to previous review articles, empirical evidence of trickle-down effects are mixed, with several studies citing marginal or no effect. The purpose of this study is to apply a realist synthesis approach to evaluate under which conditions trickle-down effects occur (i.e., what works for whom under which circumstances?). Using rapid evidence assessment methodology, 58 empirical articles were identified in the search process and critically analyzed through the lens of realist synthesis evaluation. The analysis identified six conditions under which trickle-down effects have occurred: Event leveraging initiatives, capacity of community sport to cater for new participants, live spectating experiences, consumption possibilities on television or other media, and communities housing event venues. The findings have implications for the sustainability of sport policy decisions and public finance, as the likelihood of trickle-down effects increases with integrated planning and sustainable spending related to the above six conditions.

“…3 Systematic reviews have found little evidence to support the concept that major sports events increase sports participation. [4][5][6] Recent research, be it in the context of mediumsize sporting events, 7 or major ones such as FIFA WCs or the Olympics, [8][9][10][11] have also put in doubt the trickle-down effect. Some studies have looked at FIFA WC's legacy as a vector for sports participation.…”

“…reported that there were significant positive effects in the year of the event, and that it was most present in junior memberships . Frawley and Van den Hoven found that soccer participation in males (15 years old and above) increased 31% between 2006 and 2009 (following the 2006 FIFA WC). The authors caution that when conducting this type of research, it is impossible to conclude that this has been the only possible factor in boosting the sport in Australia over recent years.…”
