Impact of football on english culture & economy

Nogomet, sport koji je zastupljen po cijelome svijetu, među svim naraštajima i na svim kontinentima – drugim riječima globalni sportski fenomen postao je razvojem tehnologije jedan od najvećih financijskih izvora. Najveći utjecaj nogomet upravo ima u zemlji koja ga je izmislila i popularizirala. Naime, Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo je najbolje iskoristilo njegov potencijal i razvoj tehnologije. Engleska, jedna od četiri države Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva koja broji preko 40.000 registriranih klubova i 57 službenih liga, redovito puni svoje klupske stadione diljem zemlje, unatoč sve većim cijenama ulaznica koje su rezultat komercijalizacije nogometa. Niti crna strana nogometa – huliganizam koji je u Engleskoj bio najizraženiji 80-ih godina – nije uspio uništiti njegove iskonske vrijednosti zahvaljujući pravovremenim i učinkovitim reakcijama vlasti. Njegov je negativan utjecaj na najvažniju sporednu stvar na svijetu sveden na minimum. Novac je sveprisutan u nogometu: prava u imenovanju stadiona, televizijski prijenosi, sponzorstva te komercijalni prihodi. Iako su zbog pandemije uzrokovane virusom Covid-19 engleski klubovi osjetili znatne gubitke, njihova veličina i potpora navijača osigurala je brz financijski oporavak. Vrijednost “nogometnog turizma” neprocjenjiva je za englesko gospodarstvo i kulturu.Football, a sport that is represented all over the world, among all generations and present on all continents - in other words, a global sports phenomenon that has become one of the largest financial sources with the development of technology. Football has the greatest impact in the country that invented and popularized it. Namely, the United Kingdom has made the best use of its potential and the development of technology. England, one of four countries in the United Kingdom, with over 40,000 registered clubs and 57 official football leagues, regularly fills its club stadiums across the country, despite rising ticket prices which are the result of commercialization of football. Not even the dark side of football - hooliganism, which was most pronounced in England in the 1980s - has managed to destroy its original values thanks to the timely and effective reactions of the authorities. Its negative impact on the most important secondary thing in the world has been minimized. Money is present everywhere in football: stadium naming rights, television broadcasts, sponsorships, and commercial revenues. Although English clubs felt significant losses due to the pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus, their size and the support of the fans ensured a quick financial recovery. The value of “football tourism” has been invaluable to the English economy and culture
