BERMUDA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION February 2Nd, 2010 BERMUDA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION P O Box HM 745 Hamilton HM CX Tel: 441-295-2199 Fax: 441-295-0773 www.bermudafa.com February 2nd, 2010 PRESS STATEMENT CLYDE BEST INVITATIONAL YOUTH TOURNAMENT On February 12th, 13th and 14th top level international youth football will be on show at the National Sports Centre. The 4th Annual Clyde Best Invitational Football Tournament will feature two of the world’s renowned football Academies. West Ham United Academy of the UK and A.S. Saint-Etienne of France will compete against Bermuda’s finest young players involved in our National Academy Program. The tournament is a celebration of the incredible legacy of our hero Clyde Best, ex-West Ham and Bermuda International football icon! The tournament is also an important key in the Strategic Plan of the Association which above all else provides the opportunity to prepare our youth players for upcoming CFU and CONCACAF tournaments, provides a barometer of where our National Academy players see themselves in relation to other football countries of similar age and continues to help build our ties with other top football programs. There is no question that A.S. Saint-Etienne Youth Academy under the guidance of Director, Luc Bruder and Alain Blachon is one of the many outstanding Football Academies in France and forms the development program for the most successful Football Club in French Football History. In addition to winning 10 League Championships, St. Etienne has also won 6 French Cup Titles and 2 UEFA Cups. Some of Frances' most respected football players wore the St. Etienne jersey and the list includes French football legends Michele Platini, Laurent Blanc, Willy Sagnol, Aime Jacquet, Jacques Santini and Dominique Rocheteau. All have represented France at the National level and several have gone on to become world class coaches. Member of The Federation Internationale de Football Association Member of C.O.N.C.A.C.A.F. BERMUDA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION P O Box HM 745 Hamilton HM CX Tel: 441-295-2199 Fax: 441-295-0773 www.bermudafa.com Similarly, West Ham United Academy is regarded as one of the most successful academies in modern football history; hence its nickname “The Academy of Football.” The introduction of the English FA’s academy system in 1998 placed significant emphasis on the development of young homegrown players and today the youth system at West Ham is more important than it has ever been. West Ham United can take pride in developing such top England internationals as Bobby Moore, Michael Carrick, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Glen Johnson. The tournament excitement begins as of Tuesday, February 9th with the arrival of West Ham United Academy while Saint-Etienne Youth Academy will arrive the following day on Wednesday, February 10th. The day tournament schedule is as follows: Game 1 Friday, February 12 | 5pm Bermuda Red vs Bermuda Grey Game 2 Friday, February 12 | 7pm West Ham vs St. Etienne Game 3 Saturday, February 13 | 2pm Bermuda Red vs St. Etienne Game 4 Saturday, February 13 | 4pm West Ham vs Bermuda Grey Game 5 Sunday, February 14 | 1pm Bermuda Grey vs St. Etienne Game 6 Sunday, February 14 | 3pm Bermuda Red vs West Ham For the first time in the tournaments history, the BFA is extremely happy to have the availability of two specialist practitioners for our Coach Education Seminars: Mr. Jacques Crevoisier and Mr. Tony Carr Jacques Crevoiser has had a long and distinguished career at the club and national level.

  • Chapter Iv Individual Player Contributions in European Soccer
    Guy Wilkinson PhD Thesis (2017) CHAPTER IV INDIVIDUAL PLAYER CONTRIBUTIONS IN EUROPEAN SOCCER ABSTRACT This paper looks at applying new techniques to predict match outcomes in professional soccer. To achieve this models are used which measure the individual contributions of soccer players within their team. Using data from the top 25 European soccer leagues, the individual contribution of players is measured using high dimensional fixed effects models. Nine years of results are used to produce player, team and manager estimates. A further year of results is used to check for predictive accuracy. Since this has useful applications in player scouting the paper will also look at how well the models rank players. The findings show an average prediction rate of 45% with all methods showing similar rankings for player productivity. While the model highlights the most productive players there is a bias towards players who produce and prevent goals directly. This results in more attackers and defenders ranking highly than midfield players. There is potential for these techniques to be used against the betting market as most models produce better performance than many betting firms. Guy Wilkinson PhD Thesis (2017) 1. INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on producing models with a high prediction rate in professional soccer. The main challenge is to produce accurate estimations of player ability, a problem analogous to research on worker productivity. The study of worker productivity is of great value to businesses in almost every industry. Hiring the best workers will improve the overall performance of business and increase profit. It is of great importance for firms to be able to screen potential employees efficiently to determine their value.

  • Media Value in Football Season 2014/15
    MERIT report on Media Value in Football Season 2014/15 Summary - Main results Authors: Pedro García del Barrio Director Académico de MERIT social value Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) Bruno Montoro Ferreiro Analista de MERIT social value Asier López de Foronda López Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) With the collaboration of: Josep Maria Espina Serra (UIC Barcelona) Arnau Raventós Gascón (UIC Barcelona) Ignacio Fernández Ponsin (UIC Barcelona) www.meritsocialvalue.com 2 Presentation MERIT (Methodology for the Evaluation and Rating of Intangible Talent) is part of an academic project with vast applications in the field of business and company management. This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.

  • Brand Management Strategy for Korean Professional Football Teams
    Brand Management Strategy for Korean Professional Football Teams : A Model for Understanding the Relationships between Team Brand Identity, Fans’ Identification with Football Teams, and Team Brand Loyalty A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ja Joon Koo School of Engineering and Design Brunel University March 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank many individuals without whom the completion of this dissertation would not have been possible. In particular, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my supervisor Dr. Ray Holland who has supported my research with valuable advice and assistance. I also wish to extend express thankfulness for my college Gwang Jin Na. His valuable comments were much appreciated to conduct LISREL. In addition, my special thanks go to all respondents who completed my survey. Finally, but definitely not least, I would like to give my special appreciation to my family. To my parent, thank you for their endless love and support. I thank my brother, Ja Eun for his patience and encouragement throughout this process. Especially, my lovely wife, Mee Sun and son, Bon Ho born during my project have encouraged me to complete this dissertation not to give up. I am eternally grateful to all of you. i ABSTRACT This research recommends a new approach to brand strategy for Korean professional football teams, focusing on the relationships between team brand identity as the basic element of sports team branding, team brand loyalty as the most desirable goal, and identification between fans and teams as the mediator between identity and loyalty. Nowadays, professional football teams are no longer merely sporting organisations, but organisational brands with multi-million pound revenues.
