Description
The commercialization of sport has led to a complex landscape of conflicting objectives. On one hand, market forces have generated significant revenue growth, yet this has also destabilized many sporting competitions and institutions, leaving clubs with chronic financial losses. This paradox is explored in detail in "Who Owns Football?", which examines the experiences of Italy's Series A and the English Premier League. The book also delves into the strategies employed by some traditional sporting organizations to balance commercial interests with their core objectives. The Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland, FC Barcelona, and New Zealand rugby union are among the examples studied. By analyzing these cases, the book sheds light on the consequences of this clash for wider sports governance. This special issue of Soccer and Society provides a nuanced exploration of the background to the commercialization of sport and its impact on sports governance.
