I'm trying to classify whether attendance at soccer games around the
world is increasing or declining and whether TV viewership is rising.
I'm not interested in the United States.
I am most interested in these countries: the U.K., Belgium, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Russia, Mexico and Brazil.
I would especially like numbers that show a decline in attendance at
stadiums or an increase in TV viewership, although I'm not at all sure
this hypothesis is true.
If there are no numbers available, I would be interested in quotes or
commentary from reliable sources (league officials, respected
analysts, etc.) who may be concerned about soccer attendance. Anything
that would help back up the argument that more people are watching
soccer on television while fewer are going to the stadium.
I'm not looking for reams of data, just enough to show whether the
hypothesis is on target.
Unfotunately, there's a quick deadline for this. I need an answer
today, if possible. |
