(Studies in Sport, Physical Education and Health ISSN 0356-1070; 265) ISBN 978-951-39-7313-1 (nid.) ISBN 978-951-39-7314-8 (PDF) Finnish summary Diss. The aim of this study is to increase understanding of football’s global and local contexts. More specifically, the development paths of Finnish and Hungarian football are explored and compared in four research articles from different perspectives within a global framework. These viewpoints, in addition to a historical-sociological overview in the article I, cover closely interrelated phenomena observable in the landscape of top-level football: the organization of elite youth football, the professionalization of players and the development of football stadiums. The main research question of the study is as follows: In what way have glocal interactions in men’s football shaped the development paths of less developed football countries such as Finland and Hungary? The theoretical framework is formulated around the globalization of foot- ball within the social sciences of sport. The main approaches applied are figura- tional sociology and the concept of the duality of glocality. The research data con- sisted of thirty-six semi-structured expert interviews with Finnish and Hungar- ian football practitioners, media and club documents and data from observation. The data were transcribed, coded and themed according to the research ques- tions of each article. The results suggest that the player pathways and the financing of elite youth clubs differ considerably in the two settings. In the 2010s, for example, the main source of income for Finnish clubs is provided by households. On the other hand, Hungarian clubs earn the majority of their revenues through a cor- porate tax scheme and support from the Hungarian Football Federation. Simul- taneously, professionalization, growing amount of full-time coaches and ex- panding social networks are typical in both countries and suggest homogeniza- tion processes at work. Since the 1980s, football players in Finland have transi- tioned from amateur status into different levels of semi-professionals whereas in Hungary the movement has been from hidden professionals to professionals. The development of players’ unions has mirrored the professionalization of players. However, in neither of the countries have football players achieved the status of regular employees to date. Regarding football stadiums in the 2000s, international and national governing bodies have strengthened their control over the different aspects of stadiums, indicating increasing standardization. Importing knowledge, increasing specialization and the appearance of commer- cial elements have been typical trends in both countries. On the other hand, the size of the facilities and the types of playing surfaces have been adjusted to the given football environment. In addition, facility development and stadium management solutions have differed in the two countries. The findings indicate that the interactions of local as well as global forces are reflected in the development paths of football. This means that the diverse roots and routes of football mirror the social, economic, cultural and political background of the given country. In Finland, it was a strong civil society and the amateur origins of football, while in Hungary it was the state socialist past and the strong national status of football. At the same time, however, both countries have been increasingly integrated into the global football system. Football practitioners can benefit from the understanding gained by discussing what the concepts of, for example, youth football club, football academy and profes- sional player represent in different localities. Further practical applications are provided by exploring the increasing commercialization of football as well as the ways of acquiring knowledge in the various segments of the sport.

    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.

    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.

  • Puskás, the World Brand: Celebrity Endorsements, Brand Expansions and Other Curious Phenomena
    II Nemzetközi Turizmus és Sportmenedzsment Konferencia 2012. szeptember 5-6, Debrecen PUSKÁS, THE WORLD BRAND: CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS, BRAND EXPANSIONS AND OTHER CURIOUS PHENOMENA PAPP-VÁRY, ÁRPÁD1 – REKETTYE, GÁBOR1 1Budapest College of Communication and Business Email: [email protected]; [email protected] According to various surveys, „Puskás” is the most well-known Hungarian word. This „brand” is not just known around the world, but respected and loved. Puskás became a world star in a time when there was no Internet and television had just started gaining popularity. But why did he become so great, not only as a player but as a brand too? The article looks for the marketing aspects of this brilliant story. It covers his celebrity endorsements/sponsors, and the products/brands which used or use his (brand) name. The possible future of the Puskás brand is also discussed. Keywords: Ferenc Puskás, football, personal branding, celebrity endorsement, merchandising 1. Introduction: the greatest Hungarian football player Ferenc Puskás (1927-2006), without a doubt is the greatest Hungarian football player of all times. Even though it was not him, who wore the Hungarian national shirt the most times, having scored 84 times in 85 matches is still an outstanding performance. This is especially true since he did not return after the 1956 revolution, thus only played a little more than ten years for the national team (and appeared four times in the Spanish national team). His most memorable move is probably the “drag-back” goal against England, when Hungary won for 6:3. It is not a coincidence that in 2009 FIFA established the Puskás award for the most beautiful goal.
