Of course for the global game the highlight has to have been the World Cup finals in Japan and Korea this summer, when Brazil were crowned world champions for the fifth time. This first FIFA World Cup to be played on Asian soil was clear proof of the extraordinary popularity of football, and the host countries both played a huge role in helping to make the tournament such a success. Although Europe did not produce the winning team, our continent was well represented on and off the field and we can congratulate Germany on reaching the final and Turkey on finishing right behind them in third place. We should also remind ourselves that Belgium won the less prestigious, but very important fair play award – important because, although football is a sport above all and competitive by nature, it must also – on account of its very popularity – promote values such as respect, good manners and solidarity. Away from the World Cup, Europe’s national football associations, and UEFA itself, have also made every effort to promote those values. To single out just a few of the activities undertaken by UEFA in this direction, we have launched a new fair play campaign based on the notion of RESPECT, and initiated further action to eradicate racism in football, by giving financial support to the FARE network (Football Against Racism in Europe) and issuing a ten-point plan of action. At the same time, UEFA continues to acknowledge fair play in all our youth competitions with fair UEFA play trophies, as well as through the overall fair play competition, which rewards sportsmanship with places in the UEFA Cup. Football UEFA has also been pursuing its policy to guarantee a healthy and balanced game. In this respect, work on the introduction of the club licensing amenities are being system is forging ahead, the assistance programmes are preparing to “ expand their scope to embrace all UEFA member associations, and co-opera- improved all over tion with the African Football Confederation (CAF) and its member asso- ciations is ongoing.

All of which combines to produce a picture of European football at importance of the end of 2002 which is pleasing in many respects, and I would like to thank everyone – players, officials and referees – who, in the course of this year, preparing the next have worked tirelessly for the development of our game, whether in the national associations, clubs, leagues or at UEFA level, in the committees, generation is accepted panels and other bodies. Looking ahead, there is plenty to be excited about in 2003. On the everywhere. field, there will be lots of action to keep the focus on European football, as the decisive phases of club and national team competitions alike draw near. In Seville and Manchester, next year’s UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals already promise to be exciting encounters, while, in the national team ” sector, the EURO 2004 qualifiers will be culminating before very long. And even now, the EURO 2008 final round is starting to take shape, with the hosts having just been designated after a bid campaign which was further proof of the desire to move forward across the length and breadth of our continent. So with all of this in mind I wish you and every fan of European football a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

Capitale de la Styrie, Graz, au sud-est de l'Autriche, est la deuxième plus grande ville du pays avec 250.000 habitants. Graz possède un des plus grands centres historiques du monde germanique, situé au pied du Schlossberg et répertorié au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Graz a été désignée « Capitale Européenne de la Culture » par l'Union Européenne en 2003 et a alors vu l'apparition d'architectures spectaculaires comme la Murinsel (NDLR : île artificielle construite sur la rivière Mur, en acier et en forme d'un coquillage) et la Kunsthaus (NDLR : musée d'art moderne, surnommé le Friendly Alien), qui donnent un accent moderne à la ville. La ville possède plusieurs universités et en parallèle des industries de haute technologie. Avec l'Auto-Cluster (NDLR : conglomérat de plus de 180 entreprises en Styrie dans le domaine automobile) par exemple, la ville met des sites de production et de recherche à disposition d'entreprises innovantes, dont certaines ont une renommée mondiale (Magna, Daimler-Chrysler par exemple).
