The FIFA Master is a unique 10-month sport (and not solely football...) Master programme, initiated by FIFA, coordinated by CIES, and taught by three prestigious European universities: De Montfort University (Leicester, UK), SDA Bocconi School of Management (Milan, IT) and Neuchatel University (Neuchatel, CH), in association with the Università della Svizzera italiana.
Every year, the consultancy firm Deloitte publishes a specific report on the status of European Professional Football, looking in particular at the financial health of the five top leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France).
The yearly reports from 2005 to 2010 included are attached to this news for donwload.
Note that all reports are also stored in the "Documents" page of the website, in the "Finance" section.
Enjoy the reading.
(more reports on professional football will soon be uploaded on www.cies-cies.org ... keep watching!)
CIES (International Centre for Sports Studies), located in Neuchatel, is a private Swiss foundation, affiliated with the University of Neuchatel and created in 1995 by FIFA (under the impetus of its current president, Mr. Joseph S. Blatter), the University of Neuchatel, and the City and Canton of Neuchatel.
CIES specialises in three specific domains: law, sociology and economy of sport, with a view to bring together the sporting and the academic worlds. Privileging a pluri-disciplinary approach, CIES provides a wide range of research, education and consultancy services.
