Training Figure 3: % of club-trained players, by league (2016) According to UEFA’s definition, a club-trained SVK 31.5% footballer is one having played at least three UKR 30.6% seasons between 15 and 21 years of age in his employer team. Depending on the instance, a CZE 28.6% player may have no training club, have one or CRO 27.9% even two. NOR 27.8% Since 2009, the presence of club-trained foot- DEN 27.2% ballers has steadily decreased. This category ISR 26.5% of players now represents less than a fifth of SVN 24.8% squads. Insofar as transfer market speculation AUT 24.6% on young talents is on the increase, it seems most likely that the percentage of club-trained ESP 24.1% footballers will continue to drop over the next FRA 23.7% few years.

On the 1st October 2016, club-trained players represented 31.5% of footballers in the Slova- kian top division. At the other extreme, they accounted for only 6.9% of players in Turkey. In two other countries, Cyprus and Portugal, was this figure under 10%. 2 Monthly Report 19 - Demographic study of football in Europe 3.

This cat- egory of footballers represents the majority of squad members in six other championships: Turkey, England, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Scotland. At the other extreme, expatriates make up only 16.1% of players in Serbia. 3 Monthly Report 19 - Demographic study of football in Europe 4. Mobility Figure 7: average number of players signed during the year, by league (2016) To analyse player mobility, we took into ac- count the number of players in the squads of POR 14.2 teams recruited during the year of the census. BUL 14.1 Players promoted to the first team from youth CYP 14.1 academies were not considered as being part CRO 14.0 of the new recruits. SRB 13.6 On the 1st October 2009, 9.1 players signed TUR 13.3 after the start of the year were on average ROM 13.2 present in the squads of teams from the 31 championships analysed. In 2016, this value BLR 12.2 increased to 10.7. The average length of stay of GRE 12.1 players in their employer club has never been ITA 11.5 as low as in 2016: 2.2 years. ISR 11.4 By adding to external recruits the football- BEL 10.9 ers integrated into the first team squad from SCO 10.9 youth academies, the average percentage of SVN 10.8 new players in squads rose from 41.2% in 2009 to 48.1% in 2016.

On the 1st October 2016, Portuguese clubs had, on average, 14.2 footballers recruited during the year in their squads. This figure is more than twice higher than that recorded for Austrian top division teams. 4 Monthly Report 19 - Demographic study of football in Europe 5. Conclusion This Monthly Report gives just a brief overview of the main trends that have characterised European football since 2009. Numerous fur- ther analyses are possible thanks to the data painstakingly collected by the CIES Football Observatory research team. Despite its major relevance, the study car- ried out in 2015 comparing the composition of Asian and European clubs was not further developed (download the report). However, this could be done in the near future. While the economic heart of football remains in Eu- rope, more and more competitive profession- al leagues are developing rapidly around the world. In such a dynamic context, the CIES Football Observatory’s mission to analyse in a neutral and objective manner the key trends occur- ring in the most popular game in the planet remains as pertinent as ever. 5.

    Media Release World Leagues Forum Schützengasse 4 8001 Zürich Switzerland The World Leagues Forum: “Domestic leagues unanimously reject the super league concept but also request better representation in the football governance” Zurich, Switzerland – 23 April 2021 – Following the recent events on the European breakaway league, the board of the World Leagues Forum (WLF), the association which represents professional football leagues on a world level met today. This board includes the following leagues: Premier League (England), Ligue de Football Professionnel (France), DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga (Germany), Lega Serie A (Italy), Russian Premier League (Russia), LaLiga (Spain), Premier League Soccer (South Africa), LigaPro (Ecuador), Major League Soccer (USA), Liga MX (Mexico), J.League (Japan) and Professional Saudi League (Saudi Arabia). The WLF issues the following statement: “The World Leagues Forum not only rejects the concept of the super league, but also requests better representation of the leagues in football governance. This is the consequence of the lessons which can be drawn from this week’s events: One: The European super league project reflected the money-driven vision a small group of already super rich clubs. This vision has been rejected by everyone in football and outside football. But most importantly, it has been rejected by the fans. It has shown that sport values such as sporting merit and solidarity must always prevail. Two: Any international competition where some clubs would have a permanent right to play without qualifying from domestic leagues is a terrible idea. Not only it disregards the values of sport, but it neglects the importance of domestic competitions from an historical, from an economic, and from a fan perspective.

    News release Contact: George Parrett 020 7007 7285 [email protected] European football market exceeds €25 billion for the first time as the ‘big five’ leagues continue to drive growth The European football market generated €25.5bn in revenues in the 2016/17 season, according to Deloitte’s Annual Review of Football Finance The 27th edition covers all of the ‘big five’ European leagues in detail with further insight into others across Europe; The ‘big five’ European leagues generated a record €14.7bn in revenue in 2016/17, a 9% increase from the previous year; The German Bundesliga remains the best attended European league, with average crowds of over 44,000; Broadcasting rights values continue to drive the growth, with new cycles in England, Spain and France significantly boosting financial returns for top-flight clubs; In revenue terms, the Premier League is 86% larger than its nearest competitor, Spain’s La Liga, which is now the second-biggest league in Europe, usurping the Bundesliga; Changes to UEFA’s competition entry criteria will help Italy grow in the future whilst announcement of new broadcast arrangement in France provides confidence for medium term growth in Ligue 1. The European football market has exceeded €25bn in revenue for the first time, according to the 27th Annual Review of Football Finance from the Sports Business Group at Deloitte. The 4% increase from 2015/16 was predominantly driven by the ‘big five’ European leagues, which saw combined revenues grow by €1.3bn (9%) to €14.7bn in 2016/17. Growth was not restricted to those biggest leagues, however, with non-big five leagues also seeing revenue increases, but at an inferior rate to that seen in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

    THESIS – BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMME SOCIAL SCIENCES, BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION THE BUSINESS WORLD OF RUSSIAN FOOTBALL Issues and Prospects AUTHOR : Roman Andreev LI17SP SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Social Sciences, Business and Administration Degree Programme Degree Programme in Business and Administration Author Roman Andreev Title of Thesis The Business World of Russian Football. Issues and Prospects Date 10.12.2020 Pages/Appendices 70/0 Client Organisation /Partners Abstract Beyond any doubt, football, known as soccer in North America, remains to be one of the most influential sport games in the history of humanity. Up to this day, soccer continues to captivate billions of sports enthu- siasts all over the globe. Football has achieved great recognition, and it is now considered the most popular sport in the world. Nowadays it is appropriate and entirely justified to talk about the emergence of the foot- ball industry. Basically, modern soccer can be viewed as an international business, since global player trans- fers are made on a regular basis and international professional tournaments are organized. Moreover, soccer leagues may be now rightfully classified as separate commercialized industries. Certain football tournaments perform much better than their competitors in a business sense. In this work, the Russian Premier League in particular is discussed. The aim of the study is to investigate the historic and current issues of Russian soccer, the reasons for their emergence, and the present state. Furthermore, the commercial prospects and possibilities for local football’s business development are inspected. Potential solu- tions to the outlined problems are demonstrated as well.

  • FC Shakhtar Annual Report Season 2009|10
    www.shakhtar.com FC Shakhtar Annual Report season 2009|10 The season 2009/2010 turned out to be interesting and eventful. I think the fans will remember it for many years to come. WE HAVE CONSTRUCTED DONBASS ARENA – THE STADIUM IS OF A HIGH EUROPEAN STANDARD. IT MEETS THE AIMS AND AMBITIONS OF OUR CLUB. Donbass Arena was constructed for Shakhtar to play there and for the spectators to eagerly come and support their team. I think we managed to achieve this. Before the opening of Donbass Arena I had supposed that 30–35 thousand spectators were a real number for an ordinary game of the Ukrainian Championship. The first year of the stadium’s operation proved it. Shakhtar won the gold medals of 2009/2010 Ukrainian Championship. It is the fifth champion’s title of our team. This time Shakhtar starts the most prestigious European club tournament from the group stage. The Club’s management and fans are looking forward to the successful performance of our team. I’d also like to say that we are very grateful to the head coach, Mircea Lucescu, for the team he’s created. Over the last 6 years, we’ve won 4 championship titles, the UEFA Cup, and we are showing spectacular football of high European standard. Today we all believe in our team and this means for We BELIEVE in our team us a lot more than just words. with our whole HEARTS We believe in our team with our whole hearts and know, whoever our team plays against, we may expect victory.
