    Keywords Co-design, Design process, Cultural heritage, Football, Inspiration, Teenagers Abstract The paper introduces the reader to a co-design project that intermediary Danish cultural heritage to a target group. In collaboration with the selected target group this paper will introduce the reader to co-design methods conducted during our design process to fulfill the target of this project; inspire teenage footballers by introducing them to cultural heritage. To introduce the target group to the case we did a controlled observation with film-viewing of a documentary. Afterwards we conducted a focus group interview with photo elicitation consisting of highlights from the shown footage to make the target group consider and select points of interest. To gain an understanding of the future use of our project idea we made the target group set the stage and enact scenarios during a drama and theater session, which was inspired by the photo elicitation material and our findings of insights from the focus group interview. The goal of our case is to introduce cultural heritage to Danish teenage football players and inspire them to adopt it to their football activities. 1 Table of contents Introduction .............................................................................................................................................. 3 Co-design ................................................................................................................................................... 4 Case description ......................................................................................................................................

La presencia del Hansa Rostock como último equipo que defendió el pabellón de Alemania Oriental era la confirmación de la unión de los dos estados a lo largo del 1991. Era el reflejo más inmediato de los trascendentes cambios políticos que sacudieron a Europa. También el Dinamo de Kiev fue el último campeón soviético porque como consecuencia de la desintegración de la Unión Soviética se dio paso a un ente deportivo internacional fantasma, la Comunidad de Estados Independientes, para dar espacio legal de manera circunstancial a la nueva conformación de Europa. Yugoslavia también empezaba a desmoronarse como república federal y se registraban los primeros movimientos separatistas.

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.

So, over the past few days, we have all been doing our homework on our Polish guests. Jocky Scott didn't have much luck when he first tried to visit Poland to have a look at them, because their Embassy in London couldn't get a necessary visa through quickly enough for us. Then games were postponed to allow the Poles to prepare for last week's international against England at Wembley. Jocky did, however, manage to assess Warsaw on Sunday when he took in their game agaist Lodz, so we now know all about their current form. In fact, it was a hectic spell for Jocky, as he was also in Bucharest last Wednesday taking in Romania's game against Bulgaria for Andy Roxburgh. Right now, though, it's Warsaw who concern us. To get a general feel of the Alex Smith Polish style we also had Drew Jarvie in London lastweek. Drew was at White Hart Lane on Tuesday for the under Switzerland.

  • 031129 156 UEFA Jubilee
    Media Release Date: 29/11/2003 Communiqué aux médias No. 156 Medien-Mitteilung UEFA officially launches its Golden Jubilee Year European Football Union to celebrate its 50 year anniversary on 15 June 2004 UEFA today officially launched its Jubilee Year within the framework of the Final Draw for UEFA EURO 2004™. UEFA was founded at a meeting in Basle, Switzerland, on 15 June 1954, during the 1954 World Cup. Delegates representing 30 countries attended that meeting in the Hotel Euler. Shortly afterwards, Ebbe Schwartz of Denmark was named UEFA’s first president. Just one year later, the new UEFA fulfilled one of its most urgent priorities by introducing the European Champion Clubs’ Cup (the first five editions of which were won by Real Madrid), thanks largely to journalists from the L’Equipe newspaper. Another objective was met when the first edition of the European Championship was held in 1960. UEFA’s destiny in the decades since then has been largely mirrored by the evolution of these and other competitions. This story, through the subsequent presidencies of Gustav Wiederkehr (Switzerland), Artemio Franchi (Italy), Jacques Georges (France) and Lennart Johansson (Sweden), is traced in a new book to be published on the occasion of the Jubilee UEFA Congress in Cyprus in April 2004. The commemorative books are one of many special Jubilee activities planned during the year 2004. UEFA’s exact 50th birthday, on 15 June, will fall during UEFA EURO 2004TM in Portugal, and will be marked accordingly. To mark UEFA’s Golden Jubilee, each of the 52 member associations has been invited to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years.

  • History History of the FC Barcelona History History
    History History of the FC Barcelona History History History of the FC Barcelona Early years (1899-1908) The ad in Los DeportesOn 22 October 1899 Joan Gamper placed an advert in Los Deportes declaring his wish to form a football club. A positive response resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Sole on November 29. Eleven players attended: Gualteri Wild, Lluís d'Ossó, Bartomeu Terradas, Otto Kunzle, Otto Maier, Enric Ducal, Pere Cabot, Josep Llobet, John Parsons, and William Parsons. As a result Foot-Ball Club Barcelona was born. Several other Spanish football clubs, most notably Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, also had British founders, and as a result they initially adopted English-style names. Joan Gamper used his past to form the team. Prior to forming this club, he played for Swiss clubs like FC Basel and FC Zurich. Even with forming the colors and crest of FC Barcelona, he looked back on his past clubs. He took Basel's colors and parts for the crest to form his new club. FC Barcelona quickly emerged as one of the leading clubs of both Catalonia and Spain as they competed in both the Campionat de Catalunya and the Copa del Rey. In 1901 they won their first trophy when they won the Copa Macaya and in 1902 they also played in the first Copa del Rey final, losing 2-1 to Club Vizcaya. With Gamper's seal (1908-1923) In 1911 Joan Gamper became club president for the first time. Gamper took over the presidency as the club was on the verge of folding.

  • The Role of Football in Spain
    THE PHENOMENON OF FÚTBOL IN SPAIN: A STUDY OF FÚTBOL IN SPANISH POLITICS, LITERATURE AND FILM Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Timothy Joseph Ashton, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish & Portuguese The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Samuel Amell, Advisor Ignacio Corona Dionisio Viscarri Copyright by Timothy J. Ashton 2009 Abstract This investigation serves to demonstrate the multifaceted connection that the sport of fútbol has with certain aspects of Spanish society, namely, this cultural phenomenon’s long relationship with Spanish politics, literature and film. Since the formation of Spain’s very first club teams, the sport of fútbol has always demonstrated a strong connection with Spain’s historical socio-political disputes. These disputes have become essential elements in making up the very fabric of Spain and range from questions of nationhood, to questions of identity, culture, politics, ideologies and economy. Throughout this study, I address the dispute that has been taking place between the intellectual classes and the fútboling community and defend that although the relationship between intellectuals and fútbol has not been as public as fútbol’s relationship to politics, it has however existed throughout the entire history of the sport. Many intellectuals have deemed the sport of fútbol as an unsuitable topic for intellectual areas such as literature and artistic mediums like film. In this study, I uncover that some of Spain’s most highly praised literary figures had a passion for the sport which they alluded to, sometimes on numerous occasions, as central themes in their work.
