Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

Henri Delaunay passed away on 9 November 1955 from a terminal illness at the age of 72, never getting to see the culmination of his decades of assiduous work . His son Pierre took over as UEFA general secretary, first as a caretaker, then on a permanent basis . The European Nations’ Cup being stuck in development hell for more than three decades wasn’t just down to the horrors of the Second World War and its aftershocks . Even after the June 1954 formation of UEFA, many of Europe’s footballing powerhouses showed little interest in entering anything that wasn’t the World Cup . But in the wake of Delaunay’s death, his son redoubled his efforts to get the Euros off the starting blocks . The idea had already been floated at the Vienna congress the previous March . As a compromise, it was agreed that that most European of things, a commission, should be set up to examine the idea and run the rule over its workability . At UEFA’s second congress in Lisbon in July 1956, Pierre Delaunay gave it another go .
