    THE ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS OF USERS ON INDOOR FOOTBALL FACILITIES AND CONTINIOUS TRAINING PLACES: Case, Jyväskylä, FINLAND Gökhan Ates Bachelor’s Thesis May 2014 Degree Programme in Facility Management School of Business and Services Management DESCRIPTION Author(s) Type of publication Date Gökhan Ates Bachelor´s Thesis 12.05.2014 Pages Language 59 English Permission for web publication ( X ) Title THE ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS OF USERS ON INDOOR FOOTBALL FACILITIES AND CONTINIOUS TRAINING PLACES: Case Jyväskylä, FINLAND Degree Programme in Facility Management Tutor(s) Simon Kay-Jones Assigned by Abstract The objective of the research was to find out the attitudes and perception of users on how to adopt Finnish football facilities to permanent training places for players to increase the quality of Finnish football. It is known that football is not the number one sport in Finland because of long winter break that makes it challenging for football to play on the outside pitches. The goal was to find out football players’ and experts` perspective whether indoor football facilities could improve the quality of Finnish football or not. The findings might lead to football players being provided with indoor pitches. After that, the quality and ability of Finnish players could be improved, which could, eventually, have positive effects on national team. The study was based on qualitative research method. Thus, a survey questionnaire was sent to football players and interview with experts in order to gather reliable information. And, also different analysis methods such as `blueprints` and `service journeys` were used in the research process. Participants were Finnish and international people who are related to the central Finnish football industry.

  • Junior Football Club's Financing in Finland – Case: Mikkelin Kissat C-Juniors
    Janne Väre Junior Football Club's Financing in Finland – Case: Mikkelin Kissat C-Juniors University of Jyväskylä Department of Sport Sciences Master’s Thesis Sport Planning and Administration Spring 2008 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Department of Sport Sciences / Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences VÄRE, JANNE Junior Football Club’s Financing in Finland – Case: Mikkelin Kissat C-Juniors ABSTRACT Master’s Thesis, 59 pages, 11 Appendices pages Sport Planning and Administration 2008 Football is the most popular sport among children and youth aged 3 – 18 years in Finland. A considerable proportion of Finnish children and youth also participate in the activities of football clubs. Financing a club has become a challenging task and several kinds of sources are needed. After the differentiation of sport in Finland, voluntary work has had a key role in sport club operation. This research focuses on financing a youth football club in Finland. The research is a case study concentrated on Mikkelin Kissat C-juniors (ages 14 - 15) team as an example. Mikkelin Kissat represents a typical Finnish football club with a major focus on junior operation. In general, it is a great example of how junior clubs operate in Finland and this makes the club a good target for this study. How a junior football club finance its operation and how does the club spend the income it gets are the main points studied. Another issue is to discuss about the idea of professionalizing voluntary work done in sport clubs. It has been speculated that sports clubs need more full-time workers to meet the increasing demand for quality of the operation of the clubs.

  • American Football Players in Finland: the Cultural Differences
    American football players in Finland: The cultural differences Mikael Viljanen Bachelor’s thesis 2019 Summary Author Mikael Viljanen Degree programme Liiketalouden koulutusohjelma (Eng. Bachelors of Business Administrations) The title of the thesis Pages American football players in Finland: The cultural differences 43 + 33 The goal for this research was to discover and analyze the cultural differences between Finnish and American cultures, more specifically between Finnish and American athletes playing American football in Finland. This was done by interviewing American athletes who have played American football in Finland as professional import players. The interview the writer held was a qualitative open-ended question interview and was conducted to five American athletes who have played American football in Finland. The framework for this thesis is earlier cross-cultural research about Finland and United States. The writer uses the cultural dimension theories by cross-cultural researchers Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars to research about the ways in which the two research groups could be culturally different. Despite Finnish and American culture are perceived quite similar to each other in the theo- retical framework of this thesis, this thesis did find out there is distinctive differences be- tween Finnish and American culture according to the research interviews. The cultural dif- ferences are mostly in the cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism, masculin- ity, specificness and affectiveness of the researched Finnish and American cultures. This thesis explains what each of these cultural dimensions stand for, as well as explaining the theory of cultural dimensions in general. An important background difference between the two research groups is that the game of American football is played very differently in Finland and in United States.

  • Scandinavian Women's Football Goes Global – a Cross-National Study Of
    Scandinavian women’s football goes global – A cross-national study of sport labour migration as challenge and opportunity for Nordic civil society Project relevance Women‟s football stands out as an important subject for sports studies as well as social sciences for various reasons. First of all women‟s football is an important social phenomenon that has seen steady growth in all Nordic countries.1 Historically, the Scandinavian countries have been pioneers for women‟s football, and today Scandinavia forms a centre for women‟s football globally.2 During the last decades an increasing number of female players from various countries have migrated to Scandinavian football clubs. Secondly the novel development of immigration into Scandinavian women‟s football is an intriguing example of the ways in which processes of globalization, professionalization and commercialization provide new challenges and opportunities for the Nordic civil society model of sports. According to this model sports are organised in local clubs, driven by volunteers, and built on ideals such as contributing to social cohesion in society.3 The question is now whether this civil society model is simply disappearing, or there are interesting lessons to be drawn from the ways in which local football clubs enter the global market, combine voluntarism and professionalism, idealism and commercialism and integrate new groups in the clubs? Thirdly, even if migrant players stay only temporarily in Scandinavian women‟s football clubs, their stay can create new challenges with regard to their integration into Nordic civil society. For participants, fans and politicians alike, sport appears to have an important role to play in the success or failure of the integration of migrant groups.4 Unsuccessful integration of foreign players can lead to xenophobic feelings, where the „foreigner‟ is seen as an intruder that pollutes the close social cohesion on a sports team or in a club.

In this article, I will discuss the role of sport and how sports organizations responded to the increasing hostilities. What happens to the claimed ‘un-political sport’ when the context in which it takes place becomes ever more politicized? Should sport take a stand or should it stick to the favourite position of Western sporting officials in the 1930s that ‘sport and politics should not mix’? What can be sport’s main contribution in times of conflict and war? Although I shall here have a particular emphasis on the small, occupied nations in Europe, I shall also discuss the attitudes and politics of the IOC and other international sports organizations in the critical years leading up to and into the war: Was it possible to keep the Olympics going? Based on recent research with primary and secondary sources, archive materials from the IOC and other organizations, as well as international research literature, I conclude that sport’s symbolic ambiguity as it related to peace and war was reflected in the different ways in which sportspeople and organizations reacted to WWII.
