  • German Football Strategy
    ESTO REPORT: GERMAN FOOTBALL STRATEGY AND THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF SYNTHETIC TURF: A BLUEPRINT FOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATIONS TO CONSIDER SYNTHETIC TURF AS A LONG TERM DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE STRATEGY. BACKGROUND ON THE GERMAN FOOTBALL STRATEGY Germany lifting the World Cup this summer was the product of over a decade of careful planning and innovation by the DFB (German Football Association). It all began with an embarrassing performance in the World Cup 1998, with a 3:0 loss to Croatia in the quarter-final, and then at the Euro 2000, when the “Mannschaft” failed to go through the group stages and finished last in their group. Immediately following this disappointing Euro 2000, the country decided that the only way to redeem themselves and regain their top level was to tackle the problem from the bottom-up and therefore focused on the developing the game at grass roots level. The upshot of unsatisfactory results in international competitions was that the DFB decided to invest all their time and resources in the development of young talent by improving accessibility and by focusing on a technical and tactical approach. Therefore, in 2001, the first compulsory requirement the DFB imposed on all 36 clubs in the 1st and 2nd German divisions was the integration of youth academies within the structure of the clubs. Then from 2002/2003 onwards, The German football association started implementing football bases all over the country, with the aim to allow every player access to the best coaching. At the moment, there are 366 of these DFB bases throughout Germany (see map on the right), and are thus within easy reach of all players.

  • The Business World of Russian Football
    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.
