Abstract Research question. The paper studies the effect of matches scheduled on Saturdays on stadium attendance in the Norwegian Eliteserien division. Research method. We estimate how scheduling the match on Saturday influences the stadium attendance using data on every match in the seasons from 2009 to 2019 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. We estimate various specifications using the OLS method with robust residuals. Results and findings. There is a significant positive effect of Saturday matches on stadium attendance of Eliteserien teams. Implications. The results of this study suggest that it is possible to achieve financial improvements if more football matches were scheduled on Saturday. 6 Table of contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................................... 6 List of Tables .................................................................................................................................................. 8 List of Figures ................................................................................................................................................ 8 Chapter 1.

Having gained their first group stage win at home to Genk on matchday two (3-1), they drew both Scandinavian derbies with Malmö 1-1 and are level on points (and goal difference) with the Swedish side – two behind the front-runners from Belgium. • Beşiktaş currently prop up the group table with four points, having collected just one from their past three fixtures – in a 1-1 draw on matchday four away to Genk, who had beaten them 4-2 in Istanbul a fortnight earlier, inflicting a second successive loss after they had gone down 2-0 at Malmö. A further defeat in Norway will knock out Beşiktaş. Previous meetings • Beşiktaş beat Sarpsborg 3-1 in Istanbul on the visitors' group stage bow, Dutchmen Ryan Babel and Jeremain Lens both finding the net. There had been no previous matches between the two clubs, nor between Sarpsborg and any other Turkish team.

  • Strategisk Analyse Og Verdsettelse Av Rosenborg Ballklub
    Strategisk analyse og verdsettelse av Rosenborg Ballklub BE305E Finansiering og investering Bodø, 2015 Stig Roland Nyvik Kristian Holhjem Almli Abstract The purpose of this master’s thesis was to valuate Rosenborg Ballklub per 1 January 2015. The valuation of Rosenborg was conducted using fundamental valuation. We chose this method because it allowed us to base the valuation on analyses of strategy and financial statements. This method is considered to be the most suitable to use when valuating a football club such as Rosenborg. Rosenborg is Norway’s most successful football club, having won more than 20 league titles. Norwegian football clubs have in recent years experienced a recession due to declining attendances, lower revenue from sponsorship deals and few success stories in European club competitions. Our valuation is based on financial statements for the period 2010-2014, while the strategic analysis stems from statements by Rosenborg, sports websites and news articles. The PESTEL analysis indicates that the main macroeconomic challenges for Norwegian football clubs are legislative changes and fluctuations in the economy. The external analysis revealed that the greatest threats were high rivalry among clubs and the media´s increased bargaining power. In the internal analysis we have identified Rosenborg’s strengths and weaknesses. The strategic analysis is summarised in a SWOT analysis, where we see that the club has several enduring advantages. The analysis of the financial statements shows that Rosenborg's revenue has been declining through the period, which confirms the economic challenges the industry is facing. Simultaneously, we see that Rosenborg is better equipped to meet these challenges through a greater solvency than the footballing industry at large.

  • A Norwegian Football League Perspective
    sustainability Article Extraordinary Funding and a Financially Viable Football Industry—Friends or Foes? A Norwegian Football League Perspective Åse Jacobsen *, Morten Kringstad and Tor-Eirik Olsen NTNU Business School, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway; [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (T.-E.O.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Financial distress has been frequently addressed in the sports business and management literature; however, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to implications for financial viability derived from funding beyond what the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) defines as relevant income in football, henceforth referred to as extraordinary funding. This study critically discusses and reflects upon whether extraordinary funding can contribute to financial viability. To address this issue, we draw on approximately 100 financial statements for Norwegian top division clubs and their cooperating companies for three fiscal years. Results indicate that, although extraor- dinary funding contributes with sorely needed funds, thus from the outset contributing in making clubs more robust, the manner in which extraordinary funding occurs is still of great importance from a viability perspective. In this respect, it is useful to distinguish clearly between ex ante and ex post funding. While ex post funding can be argued to be counter-productive to financial viability Citation: Jacobsen, Å.; Kringstad, M.; Olsen, T.-E. Extraordinary Funding (e.g., cloaking inadequate finances, providing incentives for overspending, and rewarding clubs that and a Financially Viable Football overspend), ex ante funding is more in line with sound financial management (e.g., funds that are Industry—Friends or Foes? A contingent upon a history of sound finances, incorporated in budgets).
