Twelve Swedish football clubs will field a professional FIFA 19 team to compete in the virtual tournament from March to May 2019 – at the same time as the Allsvenskan’s 95th season kicks off. eAllsvenskan will serve as an official qualifier for FIFA eWorld Cup 2019™. The first season of eAllsvenskan will feature 147 matches and will be broadcast live by Discovery Networks Sweden on the Kanal 9 TV channel and Dplay digital platform. Peter Nørrelund, EVP, Head of Product Development and Incubation at MTG, and Co- CEO of DreamHack: "We are witnessing a new generation of professional athletes, who may never have stepped foot on a football pitch but who are capable of drawing substantial audiences with their highly skilled gameplay. DreamHack supports this emerging talent by joining forces with national football associations and elite football clubs. Together, we create local leagues and deliver a high-quality entertainment product that engages passionate fans live, on air and online.” Mats Enquist, Secretary General of the Swedish Elite Football Association: “We see significant value in having an established partner in the esports space such as DreamHack. I’m delighted to see Swedish football clubs recognising the potential of esports and how it can help reinforce football’s position as one of the most followed sports in the world.” In October 2018, MTG announced that DreamHack and the Danish Superliga created eSuperliga, the first national FIFA esports league of its kind, broadcast live on Discovery Networks’ Canal 9 and Dplay in Denmark. A professionally produced esports entertainment product, DreamHack’s eSuperliga has drawn strong viewership among young audiences and become a powerful counterpart of traditional football content on air and online. DreamHack’s partnerships with the Swedish and Danish football leagues have been made possible by significant improvements in esports’ competitive ecosystem, combined with the global rise of live streaming and the growing esports audience.

  • Sport and Play in a Digital World
    Sport and play in a digital world Call for papers in Sport, Ethics and Philosophy Dr. Ivo van Hilvoorde ([email protected]) Digital technology plays an important role in the everyday lives of people. The increasing popularity and attraction of gaming has often been framed as a problematic and disquieting development, because the time spent with digital media is supposed to be at the expense of ‘real’ playing and exercising time. In the last decade however, new games emerged on the market that do not conform anymore to the standard idea that gaming contradicts with playing ‘real sports’. ‘Sport games’ are gaining in significance all over the world and are even challenging the modern and hegemonic concept of sport (Taylor, 2012). As some researchers argue, new technologies allow for entirely ‘new forms of play that we’ve only just begun to imagine’ (Pesce, 2000, p. 213; Sydnor, 2001). There is still a lot of confusion about some of the concepts that are being used to describe this development towards the digitalization of play and sport culture. Concepts like sport gaming, virtual sports and exergaming are often used in a rather loose manner and may refer to a variety of manifestations of ‘digital play’, such as the simulation of real sports, cybersport and e-sports on either traditional or motion-controlled game consoles. With the term cybersport, Hemphill (2005: 199) refers to ‘alternative sport realities, that is, to electronically extended athletes in digitally represented sporting worlds’. Whereas Hemphill speaks of ‘alternative sport realities’, other definitions imply that e-sports is simply a new subset of the family of sports.

And a very wishful thinker. p. 16 p. 50 www.streetfootballworld.org ABOUT FOOTBALL FOR GOOD & THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS I was at the beginning of my career when the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established. For 15 years, they followed me and I followed them. In early 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years, with these new goals that universally apply to all, the 193 United Nations member states have pledged to mobilise efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. The members of the streetfootballworld network, and many more friends and fellows across the globe, have intrinsically adopted such an attitude already during the establishment of their organisations. In fact, the very reason they initiated their programmes in the Mathare Valley, the streets of Dublin or the favelas of Rio was because governments had failed to address the needs of those on the margins of society.

  • Danish Football Analysis
    Danish Football Analysis Prepared by StatsBomb for DivisionsForeningen April 2019 Contents ● Executive Summary ● Introduction ● Data Clarifications ● Goals, xG and Shots ● Passing, Possessions & Dribbling ● Defending ● Formations ● Age Analysis ● Phases ● Conclusions Executive Summary This project uses football event data to compare the Danish Superliga, English Premier League and German Bundesliga over a five season period beginning in 2014-15. While professional football contains many strong similarities across different leagues, it is also clear that distinct differences exist and StatsBomb was able to draw them out by evaluating datasets for each league. ● Open Play: The Danish Superliga has kept pace with the Premier League in terms of goals, shots, and expected goals volumes, yet both leagues sit below the more action packed Bundesliga. There is also a lessened disparity between the top and bottom Danish teams in comparison to the other leagues. ● Set Pieces: Danish teams score more goals from set pieces than their counterparts in the Premier League and Bundesliga. This includes direct free kicks, corners or indirect free kicks and especially throw ins. The last of which they utilise to a notable extent. Weaker teams across all leagues rely heavily on set pieces, however stronger teams in Denmark get more out of them than their English and German peers. ● Passing: All leagues are moving towards a shorter passing, possession focused approach. Yet the Danish Superliga overall remains a more direct competition. Danish teams also use the wide areas more for creating chances. ● Age: The average age of players in the Danish Superliga is younger than the Premier League and, to a lesser extent, the Bundesliga.

  • Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
    International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist.

  • Historiography of Korean Esports: Perspectives on Spectatorship
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 3727–3745 1932–8036/20200005 Historiography of Korean Esports: Perspectives on Spectatorship DAL YONG JIN Simon Fraser University, Canada As a historiography of esports in Korea, this article documents the very early esports era, which played a major role in developing Korea’s esports scene, between the late 1990s and the early 2000s. By using spectatorship as a theoretical framework, it articulates the historical backgrounds for the emergence of esports in tandem with Korea’s unique sociocultural milieu, including the formation of mass spectatorship. In so doing, it attempts to identify the major players and events that contributed to the formation of esports culture. It periodizes the early Korean esports scene into three major periods—namely, the introduction of PC communications like Hitel until 1998, the introduction of StarCraft and PC bang, and the emergence of esports broadcasting and the institutionalization of spectatorship in the Korean context until 2002. Keywords: esports, historiography, spectatorship, youth culture, digital games In the late 2010s, millions of global youth participated in esports as gamers and viewers every day. With the rapid growth of various game platforms, in particular, online and mobile, people around the world enjoy these new cultural activities. From elementary school students to college students, to people in their early careers, global youth are deeply involved in esports, referring to an electronic sport and the leagues in which players compete through networked games and related activities, including the broadcasting of game leagues (Jin, 2010; T. L. Taylor, 2015). As esports attract crowds of millions more through online video streaming services like Twitch, the activity’s popularity as one of the most enjoyable sports and business products continues to soar.
