Corruption, money laundering, match-fixing, misplaced government interven- tion, legal disputes of various sorts, and so on, can, indeed, only be dealt with effectively if authority is clearly defined and if the status and independence of football’s governing bodies is recognised by law and they are provided with the necessary means.

  • Temporada 2000 / 2001
    TEMPORADA 2000/2001 PRESENTACIÓN Es imprescindible que empiece la presentación de esta memoria correspondiente a la tempora- da 2000 / 2001 con un emocionado recuerdo a D. Antonio Baró Armengol, a cuyo cargo estuvo el mando del fútbol profesional español en estos últimos catorce años, en los cuales hemos vivido un extraordinario desarrollo de nuestra actividad y hemos asistido al éxito de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. en el concierto internacional. Su talante comprensivo y negociador han marcado una lí- nea a la que no podemos ni queremos renunciar, siempre con el reto de mejorar las condiciones en las que se desenvuelve nuestra función. La sucesión de Antonio Baró significa- ba, también, un momento decisivo para la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Pro- fesional que no había vivido ningunas elecciones a lo largo de su historia. Se trataba de mantener la unidad entre todos los clubes y dar un paso al fren- te hacia los nuevos tiempos, con una organización avanzada, eficaz y preparada para dejar oír su voz en los nuevos escenarios que se plantean en el nuevo siglo. Por ello, la mayoría de nuestros clubes y S.A.D. apostaron por una presidencia profesional y a plena dedicación que supone todo un reto personal y una gran ilusión para mí y para mi equipo. Con ese orgullo y esa ilusión nos hemos puesto a trabajar inmediatamente porque el tiempo apre- mia y la LFP quiere seguir siendo el referente del fútbol profesional europeo, una cotización que 4 nos hemos ganado a pulso en estos últimos años, tión, de manera que ninguna amenaza enturbie tanto en el terreno de juego como en los campos el trabajo bien hecho.

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

Date : 1 octubre 2018 Participantes: La presión de los clubs más fuertes del continente, en concreto el G-14, volvía a recoger sus frutos: la competición ampliaba el número de participantes y el número de partidos. También las federaciones sacaban provecho de estos cambios porque participaban directamente de los beneficios. Las consecuencias, a largo plazo, todavía no se podían prever, pero estaba claro que teniendo en cuenta la fuerte compensación económica que se recibía por entrar en la competición, se acabarían generando importantes diferencias entre los clubs más poderosos respecto a los más humildes. El coeficiente interanual de la UEFA estableció el número de participantes. Era evidente que cuantos más equipos representantes tuviese una federación mayores ganancias iba a tener. La repercusión alcanzaba incluso a las ligas más pequeñas porque, si efectivamente sus ingresos 1 / 74 Cuadernos de Fútbol Revista de CIHEFE https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol eran muy inferiores, también es cierto que en proporción el club que accedía a Europa recibía una inyección económica muy superior a la de sus rivales en su correspondiente campeonato nacional.

  • A Study of Institutional Racism in Football
    THE BALL IS FLAT THE BALL IS FLAT: A STUDY OF INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN FOOTBALL By ERIC POOL, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Eric Pool, September 2010 MASTER OF ARTS (2010) McMaster University (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Ball is Flat: A Study ofInstitutional Racism in Football AUTHOR: Eric Pool, B.A. (University of Waterloo) SUPERVISOR: Professor Chandrima Chakraborty NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 127 ii Abstract: This project examines the ways in which the global mobility of players has unsettled the traditional nationalistic structure of football and the anxious responses by specific football institutions as they struggle to protect their respective political and economic hegemonies over the game. My intention is to expose the recent institutional exploitation of football's "cultural power" (Stoddart, Cultural Imperialism 650) and ability to impassion and mobilize the masses in order to maintain traditional concepts of authority and identity. The first chapter of this project will interrogate the exclusionary selection practices of both the Mexican and the English Football Associations. Both institutions promote ethnoracially singular understandings of national identity as a means of escaping disparaging accusations of "artificiality," thereby protecting the purity and prestige of the nation, as well as the profitability of the national brand. The next chapter will then turn its attention to FIFA's proposed 6+5 policy, arguing that the rule is an institutional effort by FIF A to constrain and control the traditional structure of football in order to preserve the profitability of its highly "mediated and commodified spectacle" (Sugden and Tomlinson, Contest 231) as well as assert its authority and autonomy in the global realm.

They subsequently maintained their perfect record in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 by eliminating Real Sociedad, a 4-0 win in Budapest's Puskás Aréna followed by a goalless draw at Old Trafford. • Milan, who kicked off their European campaign in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round, qualified for the knockout phase from a tough group comprising LOSC Lille, Sparta Praha and Celtic, leapfrogging the French side on Matchday 6 to take top spot with 13 points. They then knocked out Crvena zvezda in the round of 32 (2-2 a, 1-1 h), an own goal, two penalties and the away goals rule carrying them through. Previous meetings • This is the clubs' first UEFA encounter for 11 years, although they have been drawn against each other five times previously, on every occasion in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League knockout phase.
