  • 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.

  • O Futebol Entrou Na Vida De Neymar Jr. Antes Mesmo Dele Nascer. Seu Pai Trilhou Uma Carreira No Futebol Profissional E Amador Br
    O futebol entrou na vida de Neymar Jr. antes mesmo dele nascer. Seu pai trilhou uma carreira no futebol profissional e amador brasileiro e passou por inúmeras fases do esporte, que no futuro serviu de lição para que pudesse orientar o filho da melhor maneira. Com apenas dois anos, o garoto começou um caso de amor com o esporte. Sua mãe, Nadine, deu de presente a primeira bola. Desde então o craque passou a ser colecionador de bolas. Foi a partir daí, que o futebol recebeu aquele garoto de Mogi das Cruzes de braços abertos. Aos 3 anos, Neymar já demonstrava coordenação e intimidade com a bola enquanto brincava. Mas foi com 6 anos que ele chamou a atenção. Correndo e brincando nas arquibancadas, enquanto seu pai jogava, o garoto despertou o interesse de um dos descobridores de talento mais famosos do Brasil. Betinho, que já havia lançado Robinho, viu a agilidade e a rapidez que aquele garoto franzino subia e descia os degraus e não teve dúvida que ali tinha o futuro camisa 10 da seleção brasileira. Neymar Jr. e Betinho então começaram a percorrer as quadras de futsal da Baixada Santista. Tumiaru, Gremetal e Portuários fizeram parte do desenvolvimento do futebol de Neymar Jr. Conhecido pelos dribles curtos e pela agilidade com as pernas, o esporte da bola pesada também despertou o interesse de gigantes do futebol. Dois ex-jogadores do Santos FC, Lima e Zito, ficaram sabendo que um garoto despontava como uma grande promessa no futsal e a curiosidade não foi deixada de lado. Lima foi ver Neymar Jr.

  • Futsal Guide
    FUTSAL GUIDE INTRODUCTION TO FUTSAL FUTSAL was first played in 1885. Roger Grain in Montevideo, Uruguay defined the modern standard set of rules in 1932. FUTSAL’s essential elements consist of five players a side on basketball-sized courts, indoor and outdoor surfaces without the use of sidewalls, and a no-bounce ball. The sport is a great skill developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint passing. The no-bounce ball requires players to propel the ball using skill and the proper technique, rather than rely on the bounce of the ball. FUTSAL promotes and develops skills as: • Ball mastery and control • Accurate and quick passing and receiving • Dribbling • Shooting skills • Balance • Coordination • Agility • Ability of Anticipation • Individual and team play • Fair Play • Tactical awareness • Transition from Attack to Defense and from Defense to Attack World class FUTSAL player Falcao The priority in FUTSAL is to motivate players in a safe environment conducive to learning. The more pleasure especially kids derive from their participation, the more they wish to play and practice on their own. While their instinct to play is natural, their affection and appreciation for FUTSAL must be cultivated. FUTSAL can be the base to such goals because it: • Allows players numerous opportunities to frequently touch ball. • Presents many opportunities to create chances and scoring goals. • Encourages regaining possession of the ball as a productive, fun and rewarding part of the game (defending). • Maximizes active participation and minimizes inactivity and boredom. • Makes the game more coach friendly because the game is simpler, thus making it easier to recruit more volunteer "coaches".

  • FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual
    FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual History of Futsal The development of Salón Futbol or Futebol de Salão now called in many countries futsal can be traced back to 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay, the same year the inaugural World Cup was held in the country. This early form of futbol Sala (futsal) was developed by Juan Carlos Ceriani to be played at YMCAs. Ceriani's game was designed for five players per team, and could be played indoors or outdoors. At around the same time, a similar form of football played on basketball courts was being developed in São Paulo, Brazil. These new forms of football were quickly adopted throughout South America. The Brazilian Confederation of Sport instituted its first official rules for futebol de salão in 1958. The international governing body FIFUSA (Federación Internacional de Fútbol de Salón, International Futsal Federation) was created in 1971 to administer the game, and held its first futsal world championship in São Paulo in 1982. Due to an apparent dispute with FIFA over the administration of fútbol, FIFUSA coined the word fut-sal in 1985, while the United States Futsal Federation coined the name "Futsal" the same year. FIFA soon began to administer its own indoor soccer games, creating its own version of the rules and hosting its first FIFA Indoor Soccer World Championship in 1989 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 1992 it was the FIFA Five-a-Side World Championship (Hong Kong) and since 1996 it has been called the FIFA Futsal World Championship (Guatemala). One of the most remarkable changes was the reduction of the ball weight and increase in ball size (from a handball size to a football size 4), which enabled faster play and, for the first time, scoring goals with the head (though this is still difficult and uncommon).

    ISSN: 1756-8811 Birkbeck Sport Business Centre Research Paper Series Economic evaluation of Football players through media value Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya Francesc Pujol, Universidad de Navarra Volume 9, Number 3, September 2016 Copyright © Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio and Francesc Pujol 1 Economic evaluation of Football players through media value Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio* ([email protected]) Universitat Internacional de Catalunya Francesc Pujol ([email protected]) Department of Economics, Universidad de Navarra ABSTRACT This paper describes an approach based on media value to evaluate sport talent. We then apply this methodology to estimate the theoretical value of transfer fees for professional football players. First, we compute the individual index of media value and expressed it with respect to the average of the top 2,500 players included in our data set of more than 5,000 individuals. The media value score is the factor by which the number of news of a player multiplies the news articles of the normal (average) player in our sample. Based on individual appraisals, we then work out the media value rank of football teams and leagues. To calculate the theoretical value of football players, we estimate regression models using as dependent variable the transfer fees actually paid. Our analyses allow us to conclude that, in determining the theoretical transfer fee of a player, it is necessary to consider a few variables, among which the media value status plays a major role. Other explanatory variables to explain the transfer fees are: contract duration, economic status of the hiring team, number of years of experience (quadratic form), player's age at the end of the contract, and media value share of the player within his team.

Both the Chinese and the Greeks, before the Christian era, as well as the Florentines during the Renaissance, played games based on moving a sphere with their feet. Tsu-chu in China, Kemari, in Japan, Epyskiros, in Greece, and Harpastrum, in the Roman Empire, are some of the names of rudimentary forms of the game that became known as football. Developed by the English starting in the 12th century, it was only in the first half of the 19th century that football acquired a set of rules, seeking to differentiate it from rugby, another very popular sport in British schools. In 1863, the Football Association was created, consolidating the rules and organizing the first games and tournaments of the new sport.
