Spain's big two more popular than Man Utd
tribalfootball.com - February 27, 2008
Barcelona and Real Madrid are Europe's two most popular football clubs according to a new survey from SPORT MARKT. SPORT MARKT surveyed around 9,600 football fansin 16 European markets with an average of 600 respondents per country,and found that Barcelona had the most fans with 50.3 million, followedby Real Madrid with 45.9 million. Manchester United (32.8 million) an**enal (22.9 million) make up third and fourth places.
Spanish clubs are supported by an estimated103.5 million while an estimated 99.2 million people across Europefollow English clubs. English clubs have a larger domestic fan base,but Spanish clubs pull in far more supporters from outside the country.
Hartmut Zastrow, Executive Director, SPORT MARKT said the survey results showed the following:
"Along with Chelsea FC, FC Barcelona is the bigwinner amongst the top European clubs. Despite still having anunusually high fan potential, the main loser over the past fiveseasons, with 11 per cent less supporters, is Real Madrid."
"The fact that Chelsea FC has increased its fanbase by over five times, clearly shows what a fast-moving marketfootball is. One can achieve a lot in a short amount of time."
."Europe still offers massive potential for clubs. In Europe alone,clubs could increase their total revenue by four or five times in thenext twenty years. In particular, this allows for new media frameworkto be created. The teams are no longer restricted to nationaltelevision.
Furthermore, in the big leagues, TV money hasbeen all but exhausted. With new media, the clubs can, however, uncovernew target groups."
"There is a booming market of over 225 millionfootball fans right on clubs' doorsteps. It seems more promising toconcentrate business here than in East Asia, where English, Spanish andItalian leagues and top clubs already have prominence."
