Restraint Factor for the Sports Sponsorship Market

Expensive Sponsorship Deals to Limit the Sales

Major sports events and teams often command high sponsorship fees, which can be a significant financial burden, particularly for smaller brands or companies with limited budgets. These high costs can limit opportunities for potential sponsors. Economic downturns or recessions can lead to reduced marketing budgets and tighter financial constraints, causing companies to cut back on sponsorship investments. Accurately measuring the ROI of sports sponsorship can be challenging. Sponsors may struggle to quantify the direct impact on brand awareness, consumer behavior, or sales, making it difficult to justify large investments.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Sports Sponsorship Market

Many sports events were canceled or postponed due to the pandemic. Major events like the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and numerous leagues and tournaments faced delays or rescheduling, disrupting sponsorship timelines and diminishing the immediate value of sponsorship deals. Restrictions on live audiences and limited attendance at sporting events led to decreased visibility for sponsors. This reduction in live viewership impacted...

Soccer is the only major sport with voluntary unprotected head-to-ball contact. It is crucial to determine if head impact through regular soccer sports training is manifested in brain structure and connectivity, and whether such alterations are due to sustained training per se. Using diffusion tensor imaging, we documented a comprehensive view of soccer players' brains in a sample of twenty-five right-handed male elite soccer players aged from 18 to 22 years and twenty-five non-athletic controls aged 19 to 24 years. Importantly, none had recalled a history of concussion. We performed a whole-brain tract-based spatial statistical analysis, and a tract-specific probabilistic tractography method to measure differences of white matter properties between groups. Whole-brain integrity analysis showed increased microstructural integrity within the corpus callosum tract in soccer players compared to controls. Further, tract-specific probabilistic tractography revealed that the anterior part of corpus callosum may be the brain structure most relevant to training experience, which may put into perspective prior evidence showing corpus callosum alteration in retired or concussed athletes practicing contact sports. Intriguingly, experience-related alterations showed left hemispheric lateralization of potential early signs of concussion-like effects. This is the first study to-date providing a definitive characterization of soccer-specific experience-related structural alterations. In sum, we concluded that the observed gains and losses may be due to a consequence of engagement in protracted soccer training that incurs prognostic hallmarks associated with minor injury-induced neural inflammation.

Respondents were asked how much they agreed with a statement relating to the preferential use of virtual reality (VR) to observe their favorite sports team play in a major competition final. This statistic presents the responses to this survey question categorized by the gender of the respondent. Although there was no difference between the share of male or female respondents that indicated that they strongly disagree with the statement that they would rather have perfect seats to see their favorite sports team play in a major competition final, through VR, than pay to see them play that match live, the share of male respondents that indicated they strongly agree was greater than the share of female respondents with ten percent and seven percent respectively.

During a representative survey of the British adult population, undertaken between the 16th and 17th March 2020, respondents were asked about their preferred approach to dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on any sports leagues, competitions or tournaments that have been suspended or paused.

The responses to this survey have subsequently been categorised into into two groups characterised by the NRS social grades of the respondents. The NRS social grades are a system of demographic classification used in the United Kingdom. The grades are grouped here into ABC1 and C2DE; these are taken to equate to middle class and working class, respectively.

For both social grade groups the largest share of the respondents hold the opinion that if the competition is suspended or paused for more than a month, it should be abandoned for this season or year, however the opinion is divided as to whether or not there should be winners or losers recognised with a larger share of respondents suggesting that there should be no winners or losers recognised. Within the C2DE social grade group 41 percent of respondents hold the opinion that the competition should be completed at a later date.
