Curriculum Vitae Curriculum Vitae Personal Name: André van Meerkerk Address: Martinus Nijhofaan 101 Post Code: 4481 DH City: Kloetinge Country: Netherlands Phone number mobile: +31 6 53342654 Email: [email protected] Date of birth: 17 march 1962 Occupation: Multi-camera Director Company: André van Meerkerk Sport & Media Producties BV Website: www.andrevanmeerkerk.nl LinkedIn profile www.linkedin.com/in/andrevanmeerkerk Pure passion, many years (since 1987) of production and directing experience and a daily shot of adrenaline – nothing more, nothing less. And it works. These are the ingredients behind my successful productions for NOS, FOX Sports, Canal+, RTL, SBS6, Talpa, Ziggo and many other broadcasters. Look further to find out more about my production and directing experience in Sports. Productions This is my daily fare. Every year I take care of the production and direction of over 100 live television sport programmes. These programmes include many sports events, such as the matches in the Dutch Football Leaque, the Dutch National Football Team, the most important baseball tournaments and live coverage of boxing galas and other competitions. Besides this sports-based work, I also take care of the training of new directors. Television programmes I am specialised in live programmes that makes every fibre in your body feel the excitement and tension. It is necessary to react quickly, maintain an overview and to be able to draw on knowledge of the game. And it is always a matter of close collaboration with a strong and experienced crew. Directing It all starts with passion - but that on itself is not enough… Being a good director means understanding how to play the game, both on and of the pitch. Years of experience and a chronic sports-addiction helps, as they guarantee professionalism and constant quality. CV Andre van Meerkerk, version 8-2017 Football One of the most important sports in the Netherlands and one of my most important areas of my work. I was responsible for directing many important LIVE matches in the Netherlands, including Eredivisie matches, 2nd Division matches, 3rd Division matches, CUP matches and matches of the Dutch National Team (men and women). Thanks to my own philosophy with regard to the coverage of matches, I have been able to provide this service in a stable and professional way since 1995. European Football Championships / EURO ‘2000’ One of my proud moments was directing part of the coverage of the EURO 2000 matches in the Netherlands. I was one of the five Dutch directors for the coverage of the matches that involved no less than 21 cameras and 9 slow motions. Africa Cup 1998 – Burkina Faso Commissioned by the Cinevideogroup, we transported a complete reporting van to Burkina Faso in flight cases to film the talents of African footballers for Eurosport and other broadcasters. UEFA under21 Championship 2007 - The Netherlands I directed eight of sixteen multilateral signals of this tournament in Holland. The production format was HDTV 1080i/50 using 12-15 camera’s (of which 2 super slow-motions) across all matches. Dutch competitions since 1996 I have covered the Dutch 1st Division for Talpa/Tele2, Filmnet/Canal+, NOS, RTL and FOX Sports since 1996. During this period, I have also directed the coverage of 2nd/3rd Division and CUP matches. Dutch National Football Team since 2001 From April 2001 till 2008, I was with my brother responsible for directing the coverage of the Dutch National Football team. The last years I was several times the director for away games of the Dutch National Football team in the Qualification round of the European and World Championships. Champions League and UEFA Cup / Europa League since 2001 From April 2001 till 2008 I directed various Champions League and UEFA Cup / Europa League matches. The last years a few for SBS6 and RTL. Baseball League and international games, the Haarlem Baseball Week and the World Port Tournament in Rotterdam are annual events I covered for NOS Studio Sport till 2004. The 2001 European Championships in Bonn, the 2003 European Championships, the Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2003, the World Championships in Germany en Italy (2009) and the 2016 European Championships in Hoofddorp were also directed by me. Boxing Regilio Tuur, Eddy Smulders, Don Diego Poeder, Oran Delibas, Lucia Rijker and Richel Hersisia’s WBA World Title Fight in The Hague, I have covered them all for Filmnet/Canal+ and RTL5 since 1997.

  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

More surprisingly, no athletes were listed among the 300 or so entries, either in a generalist or specific category: perhaps, because of the significance of amateurism as a prevailing ethos in sport until the 1960s.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • 6. Africa Cup of Nations Stadiums
    6. Africa Cup of Nations stadiums The first African Cup of Nations (CAN) was organised in 1957 and has been held every two years since 1968. 16 teams have participated in each tournament since 1998. In 2010 the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided to move the CAN to uneven years to avoid the event clashing with the FIFA World Cup. Figure 6.1: Africa Cup of Nations stadiums 2000-2010 Number of Used Venues Number of New or Major Renovated Venues 7 666 6 6 5 4 44 4 44 3 2 1 1 0 1 0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 As the figure above shows, the CAN’s host countries have over the last ten years tended to use four to six venues – in contrast to UEFA Euro, in which 16 teams also participate but UEFA’s requirements calls for at least eight stadiums. In the last six CAN tournaments all final venues have had a capacity over 45,000 and an average capacity of just over 58,000, which is comparable to the requirements UEFA has for the stadiums that stage the UEFA Euro final. However, the average capacity of the smallest venues used for the CAN is just 19,500 seats, which differs from UEFA’s minimum requirement of 30,000 seats. Both Tunisia and Egypt, who hosted CAN in 2004 and 2006 respectively, already had a decent number of stadiums available and did not make any major investments in new stadiums. Tunisia hosted the Mediterranean Games in 2001 and leading up to these games they constructed Stade de 7 Novembre, which after the 2011 revolution is now named Stade Olympique de Radès.
