“…According to recent data from FIFA (2014) the number of participating teams has doubled, and the number of participants in the qualifying stages has almost tripled. The media in general and television in particular, are increasingly permeable to host matches and broadcast competitions in which women's football is present (Meier et al, 2016). As the general interest in a sport increases, the professionalization of it is inevitable and essential (Kjaer and Agergaard, 2013).…”

The aim of this study was to identify differences in technical-tactical behaviour between the men and women first division football teams of the Spanish league, to this end 68 matches corresponding to 2016/17 season were analysed. A comparative analysis of the medians was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U-tests were conducted as post hoc tests. The size effect of this test was calculated and, finally, we performed a grouping of the variables through the clustering bootstrapping technique in both groups. We have detected statistically significant differences (p <0.01) regarding all accurate passes, in favour of men, as well as a greater number of yellow cards. In female football, a greater number of picking up free balls, interceptions, lost balls, recoveries and challenges are produced. Finally, in women's football a greater number of attacks are also carried out, both positional and counterattacks than in men. The clustering analysis allowed us to identify that in male football, the circumstance of receiving a red card is closely related to the number of goals conceded and most of the shots on goal are achieved by positional attacks. In the case of women's football, ball possession on own half is closely related to the number of losses. Data proves the existence of technicaltactical differences between male and female football of the La Liga teams. Such detailed analysis could be useful for gender-specific training information for optimal preparation. However, more research is warranted to establish the main gender differences and characterize women's football.

“…More specifically, not only have earlier attempts to explore the GOU demand relationship in the Bundesliga focused (almost) exclusively on examining stadium demand, 12 but they have also produced contradictory findings (cf. Meier & Leinwather, 2016). 13…”

Despite the increasing internationalization of marketing activities by professional sporting clubs, previous research exploring the role of game outcome uncertainty (GOU) in spectator demand has been exclusively conducted within national contexts. As a consequence, very little is known about the preferences of international television (TV) spectators watching games from abroad. Hence, this study analyzes all 571 English Premier League (EPL) games broadcast in Germany between the seasons 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 in order to explore whether TV demand for transnational football games is affected by GOU. In line with the prominent uncertainty of outcome hypothesis, the results of this analysis reveal a significant and positive relation between German EPL demand and GOU. This result, however, is not consistent for male and female spectators.

“…Extant research about revenues or spectator attendance in Brazilian context is solely based on an economic logic which seeks to identify the determinants of these variables usually assigning one dependent variable only, namely total attendance at matches (Bortoluzzo et al, 2017;Madalozzo & Villar, 2009;Wieser, 2016). This structure is usually based on empirical initiatives which measure the effect of managerial, demographic and socioeconomic variables on spectator attendance in stadiums (Ferreira & Bravo, 2007) There are other two components, which authors classify as Quality, games involving teams disputing top-rankings (Meier, Konjer & Leinwather, 2016), and uncertainty of the outcome, when teams with real chances of winning championships are involved (Peel & Thomas, 1992).…”

Sales-based Brand Equity as a Performance Driver in ‘The Country of Soccer’

et al. 2020

Despite being the most popular sport in Brazil, soccer suffers from structural problems. Managers working in this reality know little about the factors that determine performance measures in stadiums. Existing research is undertaken according to an economic logic, which attributes importance to a dependent variable only, the total attendance of soccer matches. This article presents an approach that retrieves a sales-based brand equity (SBBE) measure responsible for performance (revenues and proportional demand) in Brazilian soccer stadiums. The methodology involved a process of a canonical regression model with two dependent variables using on-field performance and SBBE as the main drivers of marketing performance. The theoretical assumption underlying the models is the discussion about the multidimensionality of performance and the importance of testing the potential correlation amongst marketing performance variables. The model developed was estimated using all matches of the Premium Division of Brazilian Championship (Série A) held between 2012 and 2017. The main result highlights the power of SBBE as the primary driver of performance in Brazilian stadiums. Corinthians and Flamengo, the two most important Brazilian soccer club brands, exert a positive influence considerably higher than all other competitors.
