Intersoccer4
Patrick Nally is a British entrepreneur and specialist consultant, widely acknowledged as the 'founding father' of modern sports marketing[1][2][3] and a principal pioneer of today's sports business industry After the 1978 World Cup, West Nally was awarded rights to all FIFA and UEFA competitions, including the European Cup Final, the European Nations Cup and the World Champions' Gold Cup, which the agency marketed together in a four-year package called the 'InterSoccer4'. Guaranteeing sponsors category exclusivity, advertising exposure, tickets and VIP access, after its successful implementation in the lead-up to the 1982 World Cup in Spain, the 'InterSoccer' model rapidly became the new industry standard by which sponsorship rights to international sporting events were administered. Signalling what has been called "sport's Big Bang Moment", the InterSoccer program's offer of a package of rights to multiple tournaments over several years is still today widely emulated across the sports business industry. According to SportBusiness International magazine, the concept became "the lingua franca of sports marketing for the next 20 years,", confirming Patrick Nally as "in many respects, the man who made the World Cup what it is today". While the world's largest sports tournament grew to signify a multi-billion dollar sponsorship proposition, Nally oversaw the InterSoccer program's evolution through the 1986 and 1990 competitions, held respectively in Mexico and Italy, before helping to establish a dedicated company to host the 1994 World Cup in the US.

This is because Germany used to be owned by nonprofit associations. Germans were worried about the interests of foreign investors so they instilled a rule where foreigners could own a majority of a German club (only up to 49%)... this german rule is still in place in 1998 when clubs opened up to become public or privately owed companies, the 50+1 rule was enacted to keep voting rights of clubs national majority interests
Football Supporters Association
was created as an attempt to get representation of supporters in 1985. Many policies were set into place after chaos and violence began to overrun clubs with fans who felt entitled to their team and stadium.

The police lose control of the Liverpool fans. The next day, rupert murdoch's "the sun" criticizes fans again. This is the story of the end of violent British fan culture. Out of this, fences are removed, soccer is commercialized, premier league soccer, calm affluent fans, etc Global crises of 1970s ● Birth of a new type of fan associated with youthful revolt ● The invention of the hooligan ● New forms of militarized policing and criminalization of fans ● The reinvention of the fan as consumer
Polla Gol
○ Chile pinochet, and estadio nacional... Pinochet is installed in Chile by the U.S. in 1973. PInochet's army goes on a sweep and rounds up chilean leftists and detained them in camps (250,000). The largest detention camp was in the stadium (estadio nacional). They were tortured, and executed. (The soviet union is against the america's coup, stating its an example of america's imperialism). Pinochet turned to chilean economists named "the chicago Boys" who planned things for pinochet like budget cuts, limitations on trade unions, lowering taxes, and they took away capital controls to try to attract overseas investments. Chile became a laboratory of these new sets of policies. Pinochet loved soccer, but also realized soccer was vital of rebuilding a sense of unity after the civil war. ● Chile had three governing bodies after the civil war. He created a government department for sports. He told them they had to come up with a way to rebuild soccer throughout chile (attendance was falling and players went overseas since clubs were poor). ● They created the Polla Gol (1975) which was gambling for soccer. They ran a lottery, people bought tickets, and someone wins. They would tax the finals price money and it was given to clubs to buy players and build clubs.

This is also the first time fans traveled together to away stadiums. Fans also began to bring flags and banners to stadiums to show their loyalty to the club. ● Transformation of fan culture in england In the 1980s, English policies are turning racist. Much of this is fueled by poor economic conditions, drugs, rising pop culture in 60s,70s. There is widespread racism amongst the gang and links to various white supremacist organisations, such as Combat 18 and the National Front. The gang also became affiliated with Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary organisations, such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force.[1] In Italy Established in 1968, it was the first ultras group to form in Italy The association was born originally as a group when a group of young supporters started to meet on ramp 18 of popular sectors of San Siro stadium, in Milan, wearing the uniform of A.C. Milan and taking to the stadium flags and confetti. The name was chosen due to the nickname of old A.C. Milan's stadium.
