Football Fans and Enthusiasts- 18-30Year Old's Psychographics

Young adult football fans exhibit an intense love for the sport in both the U.S. and the U.K. The game is experienced differently in the U.K. versus the U.S., and this contributes to the differences in fan behavior, values, interests, hobbies, and spending habits. 
Values and Attitudes Many European football fans have moved to the U.S. and they have brought their cultural behaviors with them. An executive from Anheuser-Busch, a corporate sponsor of the FIFA World Cup, explains that the football-watching culture in America is growing, and a huge influence is " from internationals moving to New York, carrying their traditions and their fandom with them." 
A significant portion of U.S. football fans identify as Hispanic, and their support for Spanish football teams is strong. Wells Fargo has intentionally sponsored the Mexican National Team, and also hosts viewing parties whenever the U.S. and Mexico have a match.  
Most young adult football fans identify as male, and the highest percentage of football fans in the U.S. are ages 25-34.
U.S. soccer fans rely on the internet for leisure, shopping, and daily tasks. 
Football fans in the U.S. report that they enjoy the football culture, "the chants, the scarves, the tifos." 
Spectators in both the U.S. and the U.K. do not believe it is necessary to view games in person. Manchester United club claims to have 659 million supporters but their stadium's capacity is 75,731. This indicates that only 0.01% of the club’s fans can watch a match live.
Young adult U.S. fans crave different forms of viewing football. Fans connect with others about games on social media, wager bets online, view game highlights on YouTube.
U.S. fans pay close attention the brands worn by the players, both on and off the field. What they observe has a direct influence on what they prefer to wear themselves.
Fans carry their interest in football into the workplace. It is common for U.S. young adult fans to have a soccer game playing "in the background" while they are at work. 
Both in the U.K. and in the U.S., data crunching has become commonplace in analyzing soccer matches, and fans rely on this information to interpret the game. There is a new "way of thinking about soccer—a focus on tactical analysis and data crunching, whereby the inherently fluid rhythm of the game is dissected into statistically surveyable chunks."  Such data, released overtly in social media, includes the percentage of time each team has the ball or the number of assists a specific player has earned.
When asked what the most pressing issue is in their home country, U.S. young adult fans slightly differ from their U.K. counterparts. U.K. fans cite racism as the largest problem, where U.S. fans equally list racism, grassroots investments, environmental causes, and diversity.
The behavior of fans attending live matches varies significantly in the U.S. versus the U.K. In the U.S., crowds are generally in control, display positive sportsmanship, and have a family-friendly atmosphere. In contrast, in the U.K., the "level of obscenity and abuse (at their own team, most of the time) is really over the top at English grounds."
The number of young adult fans of women's football is growing in both the U.S. and in the U.K. Nearly one in five adults in the U.K. refer to themselves as fans of women's football, as compared to 25% of Americans. These percentages are increasing by upwards of 50% annually. In fact, the Women’s World Cup final drew higher U.S. viewer ratings than the men’s final.
Out-of-control behavior at U.K. football matches, or "Hooliganism," has become associated with U.K. football fans. The over-zealous fan base, overwhelmingly young adults, have required riot police to break up fights between rival fans. Throughout the world, U.K. adult football fans have a reputation for violent behavior at games. This includes "damage to public buildings, injuries to passers-by and chaos around stadiums."  U.K. fans also enjoy behaviors steeped in tradition. Throughout the game, fans chant and sing in unison, and a U.K. crowd is filled with instruments, noisemakers, whistles, banners, painted faces, and fans sporting team shirts and scarves. 
Hobbies and InterestsU.S. young adult soccer fans enjoy e-sports tournaments and digital games. 
 Drinking beer while attending football-related matches is a popular activity in the U.S.
U.S. Soccer fans in this age group are also fans of baseball, football, basketball, and fantasy sports. U.K. fans are quite fond of the table game of Foosball.
Young adult football enthusiasts in the U.S. read the New York Times and follow BBC and Google News. They regularly use LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter in their daily lives and to connect with other football fans. Fans in the U.K. also use social media, but they believe that "Twitter gives a more diverse impression of the game." 
Young adult football fans with children enjoy sharing their love of the sport with their kids. Entire families attend games and engage in a favorite U.S. pastime, tailgating. Tailgating often includes a party atmosphere with barbecues and other activities in the parking lot. Fans in the U.K. do not engage in tailgating, and only certain parts of the stadium are deemed family friendly.
Spending HabitsThe 20 to 24 year old U.S. football fan spends more on "spectator-focused services and products (game tickets, TV subscriptions, etc.)."  Adult fans in both the U.S. and the U.K. rarely pay to watch a game in person, as they have numerous options to watch it on a screen. Millennials also frequently watch without paying. According to one report, 58 per cent of under-30s admitted that they stream games illegally.  
U.S. fans will often venture to a breakfast venue, where they will purchase breakfast while watching the game. This is due to the time difference when watching the European games.
Young adult football fans enjoy consuming beer, and they frequent sports bars and special viewing events in order to do so.
When making purchasing decisions, U.S. adult fans indicate that advertising plays a big part, "followed by expert recommendations and brand reputation."
U.S. football fans frequently purchase sports-themed home decor and apparel.
A recent survey conducted in the U.K. determined that two-thirds of fans used cash to fund their soccer-watching habit, while a quarter used credit cards. While at a live match, they do not spend money on alcohol because it is not legal to consume alcohol while attending a game. A recent survey conducted by Lyst showed that female football fans are increasingly purchasing football-inspired fashion. Internet searches for these items have increased 520% since 2017.  Another recent survey of UK football fans revealed a desire for "personalised TV channels, with audiences willing to pay extra for access." 
Research StrategyIn order to complete this psychographic profile, we consulted a variety of reputable newspaper articles, journals, and blogs. We were also able to review several key surveys and studies which greatly informed our research. All of the data we obtained generalized groups as young adults or placed them in the category of 20-24-year-olds. As such, our research reflects information for a population from late-teens to late-twenties. We were careful to avoid any data attributed to football fans under the age of 18, as this will be addressed in a separate request.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts- 14-20 Year Old's Psychographics

Football fans aged 14-20 are living in an age with many changing factors. These include technology, Brexit, and a continued support of previously marginalized groups, such as the LGBTQ community. At the same time, these fans are young people and enjoy spending their money on recreational activities important to them as well as supporting the causes that interest them. In general, young football consumers tend to use technology and social media more overall than older football fans; and in recent years, there appears to be a large overlap between gaming and football, especially in the younger demographic of players, influencers, and enthusiasts.

Key Factors of Footbol Fans and Enthusiast 14-20 Year Old's PsychographicsMillennials and people belonging to Generation Z in England are more likely to rent homes, suffer from lower wages, and believe emigration enriches cultural life.
Young fans tend to be liberals and care deeply about social issues, such as LGBTQ issues, gender pay difference, and some of the hooliganism associated with older fans; some fans want football to be a way to address these issues.
Teens aged 13-20 in the UK spend around 60 percent of their money each week. They report spending the most on clothes, socializing, and gaming.

Psychographic Profile of 14-20 Year Old Football EnthusiastsYoung football fans tend to spend their free time with technological content, such as video games or memes. 
A GWI online survey found that Premier League fans tend to spend an average of 1.25 hours console gaming each day.
More and more young football fans also appear to prefer using GIFs or online videos and content to socially interact with each other, both during a football game and after. 
Meme culture is definitely growing among teenage fans. While watching football, teens may find themselves interacting with an online community to show their support of the game or searching for GIFs showing highlights after a game.
Gaming, social media, and overall technology consumption are important to the younger demographic. From the age of ten, an Ofcom study reports that girls and boys spend increasing amounts of time on social media and gaming. By the age of fifteen, their average screen time is just under 3 hours a day.
Teenage girl football fans show activities such as reading and listening to music to be their main hobbies outside school. 
Teens are also spending more money on clothes. Some futbol-inspired clothing is even entering the market as young fans spend more money on fashion.
Teenage football fans are increasingly showing concern for gender and LGBTQ issues. The number of football players and groups participating in campaigns such as Rainbow Laces is increasing and shows signs of further increasing in 2020. 
Fan-made groups, such as Palace or Proud and Pride in Football are also growing in number and membership.
Younger fans are also challenging players to step outside the masculine footballer stereotype, and more fans are watching women's football world-wide.

Research StrategyResearch into statistics of users who frequent websites such as PremierLeague.com or live football streaming sites were viewed to see what other content enthusiasts were interacting with. Reports into fan statistics were also viewed, which enabled our research team to discover a decent amount of overlap in the football community and gaming. Social issues and beliefs were easy to discover in the fan statistic reports, but much of the discussion did not come with an age breakdown, so more broad research into issues important to Generation Z and Millennials was conducted. It appears as though some football players, such as Danny Rose, are beginning to question discussing social justice issues, but more research would need to be done concerning whether this is supported by 14-20 year old football enthusiasts.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts- Demographic Profile

Around 55% of U.S. adults aged between 16 to 24 are soccer fans. Also, 24% of U.S. low-income earners claim to be interested in football.
AgeThe age distribution of football fans in United States goes as follows:
16 to 24 years: 55%.
25 to 34 years: 50%.
 35 to 44 years: 30%.
 45 to 54 years: 22%.
55 to 69 years: 14%.
In general, 47% of American adults suggest they are interested in football.
GenderIn 2017, "38% of American men and 26% of American women reported being interested or very interested in soccer."
Income LevelIn the United States, 24% of low-income earners said they are interested in football.
Also, 41% of medium-income earners suggest they are interested in football, while 40% of high-income earners are interested in football.
Ethnicity 5% of whites in U.S are avid football fans, while 26% are casual fans.
 15% of Hispanics are avid football fans, while 36% are casual soccer fans.
 6% of African American are avid football fans, while 31% are casual fans.
 11% of other ethnic groups agree to be avid football fans, while 39% are casual soccer fans.
MARITAL STATUSMillennials make up nearly half (44%) of all football fans in the United States, according to Simmons Research. As there is no information in the public domain that specifically states the marital status of football fans in the United States, it is reasonable to assume that it is similar to the marital status of the millennial generation. As reported by Haven Life, just 32.9% of this age cohort is married.
Around 57% of them have never gotten married.
EDUCATION LEVELThe same logic used for marital status can be applied to the education level of football fans in the United States. Hence, 36% of soccer fans in the country have attained their bachelor's degree.
RESEARCH STRATEGYWhile the majority of the requested information was readily available in the public domain, we were unable to find data on the marital status and education level of football fans in the United States in the public domain. We searched through studies and survey results provided by prominent research groups such as Pew Research, as well as market research entities like Nielsen. However, none of the sources focused on demographics specific to the education level and marital status of the specified group. 

We also explored reports and articles from reliable news and media sources discussing the subject of football in the United States. These included Fortune, Forbes, and the Los Angeles Times. Additionally, we consulted soccer and sports-related publications such as The Athletic, SportsPro Media, ESPN, among others. Again, the sources did not offer the information we were seeking and mostly focused on football's growth in popularity in the United States or addressed the demographics of the players themselves.

Next, we scoured through reports and articles offered by groups associated with football in the United States, including Major League Soccer (MLS), to see if they provided the demographic breakdown regarding the education level and marital status of football fans in the United States. Still, we were unable to find relevant information on this particular subject as none of the sources presented the requested data.

Nonetheless, during our research, we discovered that the millennial generation accounts for nearly half of all football fans in the United States. Using this fact, we assumed that the marital status and education level of millennials would at least offer some insight into those demographics for football fans in the country. Hence, we used the education level and marital status of millennials in the United States as a proxy for US football fans.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts - Digital Content Consumption 18-30 Year Olds

18-30 year-old football fans in the United States (U.S.) are tech-savvy and digitally engaged. They frequently stream video on their mobile devices, like to use chatbots, participate on Reddit forums, and are heavy users of YouTube, as well as other content-focused and influencer platforms, such as Instagram. They use these digital platforms for many reasons beyond sports, including watching Netflix, ordering food, participating in a humor or gaming community forum, or getting advice from a social media influencer. Four digital platforms used by 18-30 year-old (millennial) U.S. football fans are discussed below.
Streaming Video Via Mobile DeviceMillennials use streaming video twice as much as non-millennials to view sports.
Netflix, followed by Amazon Prime, are the top streaming services used by millennials.
The U.S. millennial football fan is likely to be a "mobile-first" viewer, a higher-income millennial segment, who spends significant time on their phone, and are frequent video-streamers. This group has an average age of 33, and average income of $74,400.  
The 'mobile first' viewer watches roughly 30% of their movies, and 25% of their TV, through a streaming service on their smartphone, and spends about 26 hours weekly streaming video.
The other key millennial football fan segment, U.S. Hispanic millennials, spends 66% more time watching videos on their mobile devices than the rest of the U.S. population.
 Two-thirds of bi-lingual millennial Hispanics watch video in Spanish.
Chatbots Sixty percent of millennials have used chatbots. Seventy percent of millennials say their experiences with chatbots has been positive.
Chatbots help engage millennials via messaging, which is a preferred method of communication for this group. Millennials engage frequently with messaging services, such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
Besides sport-focused activities, such as finding news and information and checking scores, millennials are likely to use chatbots to book an appointment, sign up for a class, order food, or check the weather.
Chatbots are considered a top digital marketing trend among Hispanic millennials, with their 24/7 availability and multilingual functionality.
The football world has also leveraged chatbots effectively, to provide news and information in a different way, engage current fans, and attract new fans. FC Barcelona launched a chat bot in 2019 on their Viber messaging platform, which drove 2.7 million more club followers and 50,000 more platform users.
RedditU.S. football fans are highly likely to want to share content and comment on content online.
 Reddit provides a community for U.S. football fans to engage with other fans via their online platform, to share and consume content, and to engage in discussion. The Reddit soccer (football) subreddit includes 1.9 million followers.  
U.S. millennial football fans are highly active in their community, and Reddit users overall have a millennial profile that aligns closely with the millennial U.S. soccer fan. Forty-two percent of 18-24-year-olds use Reddit and 64% of Reddit users are 18-29. Thirty-five percent of Reddit users would be considered higher-income (>$75,000).
The leading topics on Reddit involve humor (r/funny), gaming (r/gaming), music (r/music), movies (r/movies), and news (r/news).
YouTube and Social Media Influencer PlatformsSocial media platforms are widely used by U.S. millennial football fans. Thirty-eight percent of adults get their soccer news and updates from YouTube (compared to 10% in the general population). Millennial soccer fans are more likely to get their soccer news from YouTube as well. 
Millennials rank YouTube among their top 3 platforms for viewing video on TV screens. Millennials also use YouTube to learn how to do something or find out something they are interested in.  
Top social media influencer platforms among millennials are Instagram and YouTube. Influencer marketing on these platforms is a top trend among millennial Hispanics, a key millennial U.S. football fan subgroup.  45% of millennials say a YouTube influencer inspired them to make a change in their life. 
Hispanic millennials are likely to seek out social media influencers on content including technology, travel, beauty, and entertainment.
In the UK, 53% of millennials felt that travel advice provided on social media forums and content posted by influencers was more reliable than information provided by their parents.
Research StrategyData was not directly accessible to identify digital platforms or content consumed, unrelated to football or sports, for the United States millennial football fan or football enthusiast. We therefore leveraged multiple sources, including surveys, publications by Major League Soccer (MLS), marketing publications which discussed marketing and targeting toward soccer fans, and news articles and other expert publications, to determine common characteristics of the 18-30 year-old football fan or enthusiast. We then evaluated the non-sport digital platforms and content likely to be consumed by this group. The vast majority of the information uncovered was segmented by generation, and therefore, we used millennial as a proxy for the 18-30 year-old soccer fan in this research.  

While the millennial football fan is more likely to be multicultural, primarily Hispanic or Latino, and higher-income, the profile of the millennial football fan is not altogether different from millennials overall, and therefore, we provided digital platform and content statistics among U.S. millennials in total, when relevant, in addition to statistics focused on higher-income or multi-cultural millennials. Additionally, the millennial football fan is likely to be highly interested in personalized engagement in their digital experiences, and likely to comment, share, and re post content or develop their own content, which was relevant to the selection of digital platforms and content for this research beyond football or sports topics.  

We defined a digital platform as a technology-enabled platform that facilitates the exchange of information.  Example digital platforms include social media, search engines and app stores. Digital content includes information that is downloaded or distributed via electronic media. Example digital content includes mobile videos, blogs, digital photos, tweets, text, and online forum or social media forum commentary.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts - Digital Content Conumption 14-20 Year Old's

Teens aged between 14 and 20 in the United States are often referred to as Gen Zers. According to PEW Research, Gen Z consists of those born after 1997, with the oldest of this generation turning 23 in 2020.  The most popular interests of American Gen Zers, who either play football or are regular consumers of football content are: social media, video games, music, fashion, and video entertainment content. 
Gen Z Broad Content InterestsAccording to Nielsen, of the members of Gen Z living in the U.S., 13% regularly play football and 34% are interested in football. 
14% of American soccer fans fall within the ages of 18-24.
They are also interested in content related to video games, influencers, fashion, and music and food festivals.
Their top entertainment interests globally are music (67.5%), video games (53%), social media (45%), and fashion (34.3%).
UK teens spend just as much time-consuming content on Facebook related to entertainment creators (45%) as they do consuming sports content.
Instagram and Other Social Media Instagram is one of the most important social media outlets on which Gen Zers consume the content that interests them. 65% of American teens between the ages of 13 and 21, check Instagram on a daily basis. 
After Instagram, YouTube and Snap are the most popular platforms for U.S. teens, at 62% and 51% respectively. 
 Gilted Edge Soccer identifies Reddit as being an important platform for "hardcore" American football fans, as a platform in which users engaged in discussions and followed news. 
Market insight reports that surveyed Gen Z sports fans both globally (to include the US) and in the UK, have determined Instagram to be one of the most utilized platforms for the consumption of not only sports content, but all other content as well. 
 In the UK, 65% of teens check Instagram for sports content every day, presumably also using Instagram as a platform to engage with other digital content that interests them. 
Video Games Research suggests a strong connection between young U.S. football fans and the playing of video games, with 63% playing soccer video games every week. 
66% of Gen Z sports fan in the United States are interested in video games—a percentage that is higher than any of the other countries surveyed by Nielsen. 
 Amazon's Twitch gaming platform has become an important gaming platform for Gen Zers who are interested in sports, reaching 15 million daily users.
Video Entertainment ContentAccording to Forbes, Gen Z is most interested in and engaged by video entertainment content.  They are most interested in purely visual platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube. 
YouTube is especially important for young people, because it allows for the type of engagement that is important to Gen Zers, allowing for commenting and conversation, or having a digital relationship with the creators of video content. 
 PEW Research confirms that YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat are the platforms most used by American teenagers. 
The type of content consumed by these users is to gain knowledge or skills, to laugh, or even to watch sports highlights. 
 Teens in the UK who consume a significant amount of sports content, also spend nearly 25% of their consumption time on video entertainment. 
MusicFor global teens, including those from the U.S. who are interested in football, one of their top entertainment interests is music, with 67.5% being interested in music. 
Teen football fans in the UK spend 16% of their content consumption time on music-related content. 
 According to Ypulse, music and music videos are the most viewed content of Gen Zers. 
 70% of teenagers between the ages of 13-17 are using YouTube to stream their music content. 
FashionYoung people in the UK who are avid football fans, are also extremely style and fashion conscious. 
 Global teens who are sports fan also list fashion as a top entertainment interest, with 34.3% being interested in fashion. 
Research StrategyDetailed information about the digital content interests of U.S.-based teenagers aged 14-20 years old who are football fans is not immediately available and requires triangulation. As mentioned above in the findings, publicly available research states that those who are considered members of Gen Z and are also football fans, have interests in music, video games, video content, and fashion and that they consume their sports content on platforms like Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. After having determined that these were the interests of teenage football fans in the United States, research was carried out to understand these interests more in-depth and included as insights above.  It has thus been calculated that if American teenage football fans consume content related to video games, video entertainment content, fashion, and music, then information about these trends amongst teenagers in the U.S. more broadly also applies to U.S. teenagers who are football fans.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts - Online Engagement 18-30 Year-Old's

Many millions of people worldwide are football fans.  Many are young.  To understand how the younger fans consume information about their sport online, it is helpful to cast a wide net to collect information. The two generations most involved are Gen X and Millennials.  Generation X are people born between 1964 and 1982.  They are currently aged to 38 to 56. Millennials are those born between 1983 and 2001.  They are currently aged 19 to 37. 
Demographics and US Futbol/Soccer Fans' Behavior In 2019, 47 percent of American adults said they were interested in football.
In 2019, the greatest popularity of the sport of football was found among Americans aged 16 to 24 years old (55 percent).  The next largest segment of popularity was among Americans aged 25 to 34 years old (50 percent).
American football fans tend to follow their favorite players on Facebook. Top soccer players had more Facebook followers than top celebrities.
The US soccer league, MLS, has more female fans than male fans.  "Forty-three percent of MLS fans are women, and 59 percent of professional soccer fans are under the age of 45." 
 Young MLS fans look for football information online and use streaming services.
US fans of MLS are mostly Millennials, with Gen X fans as the next largest category. "Nearly half of soccer players are Millennials, compared with about a quarter of the GenXers."
Millennial US sports fans of the European Premier League (EPL) stream sports more often than other groups, and do so using "streaming web sites and apps (for example, NBCSports.com, Twitter, and WatchESPN) almost twice as much as Generation X (56 percent versus 29 percent). They are also more likely to admit to using unauthorized sports streaming sites, such as Reddit streams (20 percent versus 3 percent). 
Reddit users constitute just a tiny number of football fans. Just 1%  of Millennials and Gen X fans use Reddit to watch highlights.  2% of Millennial fans use Reddit to check scores and news updates. Gen X does not use Reddit for football scores and news updates.
Many subreddits for football fans can be found at Reddit.  The demographics of users of the subreddits and not available.
"While millennials and Gen Xers use sports sites and apps equally, significantly more millennials follow sports on social media. For example, 60 percent of millennial sports fans check scores and sports news on social media versus only 40 percent for Generation X". 
The social media platforms used by generational segments to follow soccer include Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.  "Twice as many millennials use Twitter, and five times as many use Snapchat or Instagram for that purpose. Facebook is the leading social platform for both groups, but YouTube dominates sports highlights for millennials (edging out ESPN.com)."
There is a large group of football fans called American Outlaws. It has 200 chapters and over 30,000 members.  No demographic information on this group was available, but it seems to be a significant force in the world of soccer.
Hundreds of soccer blogs exist.  The top 100 blogs have from thousands to millions of readers and followers on social media platforms.  No demographic data on readers was available.
Early morning football games carried by NBCSports are watched around the world and in the US.  Each major team of the EPL has"supporters’ clubs who wake up in time to turn up at bars for 7:30 a.m. kickoffs, where they tuck into full English breakfasts, drink Guinness and join fans across the world in belting out the chants picked up by TV cameras inside the stadiums."
In the US, where American football and baseball have been the most popular sports for decades, football is gaining in popularity, somewhat due to social factors.  "36% of fans aged 26-39 years old became soccer fans due to their friends, compared to 26% of those ages 13-17 years old."
UK Demographics and Futbol/Soccer Fan BehaviorA 2019 BBC survey found that "65 percent of British millennials stream EPL matches illegally at least once per month [using Reddit]" before the stream was canceled.
"More than 35% of UK football supporters on Twitter now follow their team, athletes or media more closely than before they joined a social media network, and feel more closely bonded to that team. This trend is even stronger amongst 16-29 year olds, with 40% of them using social media to follow their team or sport more closely than before" according to a recent study.
In the 16 to 29 year old segment, 63% were found to have liked a [sports] brand on Facebook. 
"UK fans check Twitter more than any other social media network on the day their team is playing, looking at their timeline on average 8.4 times per day for sports related content, whilst more than 40% of fans with social media accounts use them to follow scores and statistics during the game." This makes Twitter the most popular social media platform among UK soccer fans.
UK football fans also follow journalists on traditional media (newspapers and broadcasts) to get information about their favorite teams. 
 Young soccer fans use YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to follow their favorite teams, get scores, and watch goals.
UK fans also follow dozens of football blogs. 
A large new fan group was formed from two other fan groups in 2019.  It is called the Football Supporters Federation. The demographics of this group are not available.
The most popular football teams in the UK, such as the Liverpool team, have hundreds of supporters' clubs all over the world.  "Liverpool Football Club has over 300 Official LFC Supporters Clubs (OLSCs) in over 90 countries worldwide."  The demographics of these clubs could not be located.
Research StrategyNo information was available about how individual football fans interact with other fans of football.  Industry articles about marketing strategies to football fans proved to be the most helpful avenues from which to derive information about fan behavior in the US and UK.  Data on the social media usage of fans was available, and from those data we extracted some facts and statistics about football fans aged 18 to 30 in the US and UK.  But in many cases, the data used different age cohorts, such as 16 to 24 or 25 to 39, so the comparisons will not be exact.  There are many hundreds of soccer blogs, and it was not possible to determine which blogs were read by which demographic of fans. Online communities of fans were similarly opaque, with numbers of fans available, but not their ages. Official supporters' clubs are another research avenue that can be studied.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts - Online Engagement 14-20 Year-Old's

After extensive research, we were unable to present insights specific to online engagements of 14-20 years old football fans in the US. However, we found some credible information about 16-24 years old US football fans, including their online content creation and sharing activities, and engagement with football stars and fellow fans.
Football Content SharingIn Copa90 Media's survey of 2,110 football fans aged 16-24, 31% of respondents from the US have shared memes, video clips, and images related to football, compared to 43% of fans coming from the UK.
Meanwhile, 42% of US fans said they "share football content on their social media platforms several times a day," significantly higher, compared to 13% of respondents of the UK.
Football Content CreationAccording to the survey in The Modern Football Fan 2.0 report, one in every four US fans has created memes, video clips, and images about football, compared to UK's one in every ten.
Football Player Fan EngagementApproximately 29% of 16-24 male fans in the US follow sports stars on social media, slightly lower than the UK's 33%.
In general, football fans and enthusiasts aged 16-24 have an average engagement rate of 3.3% in football players' social media.
Football Fan-to-Fan InteractionAccording to Copa90 Media's survey, 29% of US respondents interacted with other fans online through forums and private groups in media like WhatsApp, compared to 31% of UK fans.
In the same survey, US fans are more likely to engage with social media content during tournaments than UK fans.
Research StrategyTo provide insights into how 14-20-year old football fans/enthusiasts prefer to engage with people that have similar interests, our strategy was to search for user reports of online media related to football, such as football portals, blogs, and online communities. We looked for user/visitor statistics of football associations' websites like Major League Soccer (MLS), Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), hoping to find insights about football fans engagement. Unfortunately, there seem to be no available relevant information specific to our demographic. Inspecting the activity reports of FIFA and UEFA were unfruitful as well. So, we changed our focus towards online communities, such as Reddit. Metrics revealed that subscribers of the subreddit r/soccer was already over 1.8 million and had been steadily growing since its creation in 2008. However, demographic-specific data were not available. Luckily, in checking for football fans-related articles from blog sites, we were able to find a report with information very close to our requirement. Specifically, Copa90 had recently released a report "The Modern Football Fan 2.0," a continuation of its earlier released report "The Modern Football Fan." The only catch was the survey's respondent age was 16-24, a little older than our target age range of 14-20. However, since there seems to be a lack of public information about the specific demographic, we figured that the insights from Copa90 were the closest we can get regarding online engagement of US football fans 14-20years old, specifically.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts - Online Consumption 18-30 Year-Old's

During the past decade, football's popularity in America has tripled. From Major League Soccer's (MLS) latest attendance record (2018), the league now ranks 8th in the world, trailing France's Ligue 1 and Italy's Serie A by a few thousand. AdWeek reported that millennials (i.e. those born between 1981-1996 according to Pew Research; 24-40 years old in 2020) in America are 16% more interested in the game of football than any other age group. The interest appeared to help the local football industry as five years later, about 60% of soccer fans are under the age of 45.
Findings1. Millennial fans are multi-cultural and bi-lingual.
Gary Stevenson, the president and managing director of MLS Business Ventures, reveals that football has the highest millennial audience among all major US sports. According to Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing's latest study on US soccer fan viewing behavior in 2017, 55% of millennial football fans are white Caucasian, while the rest come from many cultures.
Significant in the multi-cultural audience is the Hispanic demographic. Millennial Hispanics, who are known to be passionate football fans across the Americas, use online content in English (60%) and Spanish (40%), effectively expanding US soccer's reach.
2. Millennial fans are heavy app users.
In 2018, there were 5.7 million devices that engaged with pro football related content. A majority of these devices used apps.
The age of app owners varies widely but the majority is between 25 and 55. This is according to an InMobi Pulse 2019 study. Specifically, the study reported that millennial users are significantly more interested compared to Gen Z users. About 20 to 25% of app owners are aged 26 to 35 years, reaching at least 30% when Spanish language apps (Univision Deportes, FOX Deportes, and Telemundo Deportes) are taken into account. Livescore is the most used app among millennial non-Hispanic speakers. The study also found that Football Live Scores is the most popular among those aged 56 and older as only 7% of millennials, specifically 18-25 years old, use the said app.
3. Millennial fans are reliant on top online news and update sites.
In 2019, US Soccer unveiled its first mobile app and a new website. This was in response to a growing demand for news and information from their ballooning fan base.
Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing's study is consistent with the growth as findings showed that 65% of US soccer fans obtain football news and updates through social media platforms. Among the age groups, the study found that 48% of Gen Y respondents told that they get regular news and updates from Facebook. 42% of them would likewise see it from YouTube. 35% of Gen Y also uses traditional media sites and search engines like Google and Yahoo!. Generally, Gen Y relies more on Facebook as compared to Gen Z (21% on Facebook), who relies heavily on YouTube (49%).
4. Millennial fans are the biggest pirate streamers.
US soccer's growth has been extraordinary during the past decade. According to a 2018 Gallup poll, 7% of Americans cited football as their favorite sport to watch, closing into America’s favorite pastime, baseball (9%). With a surge in popularity, demand for match streaming (both local and international) increased.
While free football clips can now be viewed in many social media sites, pirate streaming, popular among the most avid soccer fans, remains rampant. As per Gilt Edge Soccer, of all these pirate streamers, millennials (Gen Y) are the most guilty. A whopping 62% of all pirate streamers came from Gen Y, 30% of whom streamed a match illegally in the last 12 months.
Research StrategyThe research employed a number of sources consisting of news reports, features, polls, and studies. The term "millennial" was used as most sources obtained referred to millennials. Only two of the relevant data sources (i.e. InMobi and Gilt Edge Soccer) mentioned specific age ranges or groups, i.e. 18-25 years old or Gen Y, but the data were all within the 18-30 age group requirement. Four insights or data points about millennials or the 18-30 age group were chosen as they are the most reported or most available online. As regards to Gilt Edge Soccer's study, the data presented actually matched most of what this request is asking, however, only the 2017 report is available. Gilt Edge has yet to produce a follow-up or a similar report.

Football Fans and Enthusiasts - Online Consumption 14-20 Year-Old's

We found data showing that YouTube is a popular channel through which Gen Z football fans view football content online. Facebook is another popular platform through which those fans view football content online. All the applicable insights we found on this topic throughout the entirety of our research are provided below.
Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing SurveyA survey of U.S. "Gen Z (13-17 year old) soccer fans" conducted by Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing found that 13% of them stream football matches online.
The survey found that 10% of the Gen Zers follow football matches either through gamecast or social media. 
According to the survey, 49% of the Gen Z football fans "regularly discovered
 soccer related news/updates online" through YouTube. 
Among the Gen Zers, 21% "regularly discovered
 soccer related news/updates online" through Facebook. 
The survey also found that 29% of Gen Zers "regularly discovered
 soccer related news/updates online" through Google, Bing, or Yahoo. 
Additional InsightsWe also found a few statistics about Gen Z football fans, though the age range of those individuals was not specified, as it was for the previous survey.
Among Gen Zers in the U.S., 4.31% said that football is the "sport [that] offers the best experience for Instagram." 
The same percentage (4.31%) of Gen Zers said that Major League Soccer is "the major sports organization[ that] currently understands Gen Z best and is delivering content and experience [that] the generation wants." 
A November 2019 article published by Streaming Media stated the following: "In an online study of 1,866 sports fans in the U.S. and Canada, Imagen finds young people are far more likely to watch non-game video content: . . . 23% of Gen Z fans watch 3 or more hours of non-game video content per week. Young fans often watch this non-game content on a second screen during a live game to enhance their viewing experience. . . . Major League Soccer fans watch more non-game content than the fans of other major sports leagues", which is partially the result of MLS having younger fans, on average, compared to other sports.

The Modern Football Fan 2.0

copa90.media

Quotes

"New heavyweight media brands such as Amazon, as well as illicit streaming apps like Live Player, are only stretching the broadcasting landscape further for young Modern Fans, providing more options to get a quick, hassle-free fix of live football on the go."
"Brands have now even begun collaborating on new products with football creators in the same way they do with players. In our last report, we highlighted how these new voices of authority were a key influence on Modern Fans, but we can now see how this influence has spread from fans to players, directly influencing action on the pitch. "
"We’re witnessing the emergence of a new ecosystem of influence in football, one based on the constant digital chatter amongst players, fans and football creators. "
"Netflix’s football docuseries ‘Sunderland ‘Til I Die’ has laid a template for a new type of characteristically English lens into the inside machinations of a football club and its surrounding community. This characteristically English style is in stark contrast to the more success-based narrative and, perhaps more American tone and format, of Man City’s ‘All or Nothing’ on Amazon. Aside from this new wave of football docuseries, our Modern Fans also told us of their increasing interest in the wide array of football podcasts. Some Modern Fans were also creating them. "
"In the previous Modern Fan Report, we highlighted the importance of meme culture amongst fans, and this trend continues to grow globally, with funny videos and memes now overtaking game highlights on social media (60% v 59%). Interviews, GIFS, and stats made up the rest of the top five content forms."
"All football fans are united by a strong sense of passion, but for our young, diverse, mostly liberalminded Modern Fans there is a very clear line between passionate, partisan support and abuse. As previously mentioned, young Modern Fans are aware of a level of hateful discourse online which they often take proactive steps to avoid, but they want to see decisive action to stop this creep into physical spaces."
"LGBT football teams, fan groups, and fan networks like Stonewall FC, Palace, and Proud and Pride in Football are examples of fan-led organisations that have carved out their own safe spaces both virtual and physical to connect with likeminded fans. Along with the greater visibility of LGBT fan groups, broader initiatives like Rainbow Laces , and an increase in female voices in the game, we’re seeing fans reflect on the very notions of gender associated with football."

The truth about young people and Brexit - BBC Three

Quotes

"If you’re in your mid-thirties or younger, a member of either Generation Z the group known as millennials, then your life probably looks quite different to your parents' or grandparents'. For a start, you’re more likely to be renting than you are to own a home and your wages are likely to have suffered more because of the last 10 years of financial problems after the 2008 crash. You’re also less likely to say you’re “proud” to be English (if you live in England) and are more likely to think that immigration "enriches British life"."
"In fact, while Steven accepts that “most young people voted Remain,” he thinks, “Brexit is an amazing opportunity for young people” because “it means we can sign free-trade deals around the world, reducing tariffs on consumer goods from phones to food, and making our hard-earned cash go even further.” After Brexit, he hopes issues like housing will get more attention because the Government could spend “the £10bn a year we currently send to the EU on young people's priorities, such as housing”. However, that's not currently Government policy."

" A meta-analysis of 27 studies containing 117 effect sizes and N = 7726 young athletes (age < 18 years) was conducted. The results show that there is an overall significant association between these two variables (r= 0.40), indicating that a prosocial moral climate is related to less antisocial and more prosocial behavior, while an antisocial moral climate is associated with more antisocial and less prosocial behavior of young athletes."
"Kohlberg (1984) proposed that moral reasons or beliefs are important motives to moral behavior. Believing that certain behavior is the right or acceptable thing to do, has a great motivational power to act in concordance with that belief. According to Kohlberg, individual moral beliefs in real life almost always originate in the context of group norms."

"Percentage of American Adults Interested in Soccer, by Age. Soccer was most popular among Americans 16 to 24 years old (55%), followed by adults between 25 and 34 years old (50%). American adults between 55 and 69 years old were the least interested in the sport (14%). "
"Nearly a quarter (24%) of low-income earners were interested in soccer, while the level of interest in the sport among medium-income earners and high-income earners was virtually the same at 41% and 40%, respectively."
"Nielsen noted several factors that may have caused the popularity increase in MLS, including the increased popularity of youth soccer, the growing U.S. Hispanic population, recent World Cup qualifications and the success of the FIFA video game."
"Powerful Influencer Marketing With Top Players Marketing in soccer goes further than billboards, jerseys and sporting events. Famous soccer players have the potential to reach incredible audiences and increase brand exposure. Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, has 127 million Instagram followers, which led to 509.2 million engagements on the platform between January and May 2018.

Soccer players are a smaller group, with about 7.2 million, or 16.5% of total soccer fans. The third group is those who watch but do not participate; this group numbers slightly over 27 million or just under two-thirds of total soccer fans"
"Generationally, soccer fans across the board are mostly Millennials, with Gen X coming up right behind them. Nearly half of soccer players are Millennials, compared with about a quarter of the GenXers."
"As with many other sports, soccer fans skew male; 67% are male versus 33% female. Soccer watchers have a similar breakdown, whereas players are more likely to be male, with 83% playing versus 17% for women."
" From social media ads to commercials shown during sports broadcasts to ads in stadiums, our soccer fans, in all forms, are nearly riveted to this content. Over one-third of each of our 3 sports groups say that promotional events at games enhance the experience – compared with 17% for sports fans in general. And nearly one-half (44%) of soccer players say that brand logos on athletes’ jerseys have an influence on them; for soccer fans and soccer watchers, this number is nearly one-third. Still, compared with the 16% of all sports fans who find this particular type of advertising compelling, the opportunities that exist for this market are huge. And corporate sponsorship of sports does not faze our soccer fan groups either. Over one-half (53%) of our players notice brands worn by athletes during the game – with watchers (48%) and soccer fans (46%) close behind. Similar percentages say that sponsors of sporting events are critical to the success of the sport, and all three groups are more likely to be loyal to sponsors, support the sponsors of their favorite team/athlete by purchasing products, and consider a product better if it is supported by their favorite team or athlete. Soccer Fans: Sports Attitudes But beyond sponsorships and advertising, sports have an overall positive influence on the lives of sports fans – especially soccer fans. 74% of soccer fans and players (and 77% of watchers) say that sports can bring people from different walks of life together – and generations of families too can share this passion. Almost one-half of our three groups say that sports have provided them a foundation for lifelong friendships (fans: 47%, players: 50%, and watchers: 50%) as well as helping define who they are. For soccer fans, being a sports fan is a joy – they will cheer for their favorite team no matter how they are doing (68%), will watch for the surprise of the results (66%), and say that it helps them escape the daily grind of work and life (61%). Sporting events provide a social outlet, enable strange superstitions and rituals (players: 33%), and provide an outlet to indulge one’s competitive instincts while building a foundation of cooperation and partnership with others.

Atlanta United FC, owned by Home Depot co-founder and Falcons owner Arthur Blank, entered the league in 2017 and averages over 52,000 fans per game."
"So why has MLS grown so popular among fans and become such a solid investment for entrepreneurs? Some reasons are obvious. The bulk of U.S. immigrants arrive from soccer-playing countries. Soccer also continues to grow in popularity at the grass-roots level (two of my kids played high school soccer), which creates a natural source of fans."

We are wrong about millennial sports fans

mckinsey.com

Publication Year: 2017

Quotes

"As sports executives seek to build new direct-to-consumer channels, we find that age is an ineffective way to segment and target digital sports fans. Older generations (Gen Xers in particular) are adopting digital technology almost as fast as millennials, and fans’ online behaviors are far better signals of purchase intent. "
"The following are a few important findings: Millennials are sports fans too. Although more Gen Xers than millennials follow sports closely (45 percent versus 38 percent), the gap disappears for English Premier League (EPL), Major League Soccer, NBA, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and college sports, where support among millennials is as high or higher than among Generation X5 (Exhibit 1). Furthermore, the gender gap is closing: 45 percent of millennial sports fans are women versus 41 percent for Generation X."
"Everyone’s digital. Virtually everyone in Generation X owns a smartphone, as do millennials (95 percent versus 97 percent).7 The two groups own multimedia devices (36 percent versus 40 percent) and use streaming or subscription video on demand (68 percent versus 75 percent) at nearly the same rates. And they both spend over 5 hours per day on smartphones and PCs "
"Millennials stream sports more often. In our research, millennial sports fans report using streaming web sites and apps (for example, NBCSports.com, Twitter, and WatchESPN) almost twice as much as Generation X (56 percent versus 29 percent). They are also more likely to admit to using unauthorized sports streaming sites, such as Reddit streams (20 percent versus 3 percent). A recent BBC survey found that 65 percent of British millennials stream EPL matches illegally at least once per month.8"
"Millennials are social fans. While millennials and Gen Xers use sports sites and apps equally, significantly more millennials follow sports on social media. For example, 60 percent of millennial sports fans check scores and sports news on social media versus only 40 percent for Generation X (Exhibit 3). Twice as many millennials use Twitter, and five times as many use Snapchat or Instagram for that purpose. Facebook is the leading social platform for both groups, but YouTube dominates sports highlights for millennials (edging out ESPN.com). Overall YouTube engagement per monthly unique viewer has reached 37 minutes per day for 18–24 year olds versus just 15 minutes per day for Generation X.9"
"1% of Millennials and Gen X fans use Reddit to watch highlights. 2% of Millenials fans use Reddit to check scores and news updates. Gen X does not use Reddit. "

The Ultimate Guide to Reddit’s Soccer Communities

Publication Year: 2019

Quotes

"You’re about to read the ultimate guide to Reddit’s soccer communities: a breakdown to the single greatest community of passionate soccer fans anywhere on the internet. We’ll cover everything from /r/soccer, /r/MLS/, /r/footballhighlights, and /r/soccerstreams and show you exactly what kind of content you can expect from each one. Step by step, forum by forum, this guide is here to help walk you through what it means to be a soccer fan on Reddit!"
"Divided into distinct communities called subreddits, Reddit is the ultimate in user-generated content. Subreddits use Reddit’s URL in their name, so for example: /r/soccer is Reddit’s largest soccer community."
"The largest subreddit is /r/soccer, with over 1.2 million subscribers. The next largest is /r/soccerstreams, with 350,000 subscribers. /r/MLS sits comfortably with nearly 100,000 users. /r/footballhighlights rounds out the list with 75,000 active users."
"If /r/soccer is dedicated towards all things soccer on a global scale, /r/MLS is a community aimed specifically at soccer in North America. While the name implies the community is aimed mostly at MLS, the subreddit actually acts as the North American soccer hub."
"Boasting a solid 100,000 or so subscribers, /r/MLS is nonetheless far smaller than other Reddit soccer communities. What they lack in numbers, however, they make up for in passion (and rage). "
"Reddit’s premier soccer highlights community is /r/footballhighlights. Updated constantly with sources from around the world, this subreddit hits it out the park when it comes to getting you the very best of professional soccer. Think of it as one big highlights video, but one where you can easily find the exact match you’re looking to see."
"/r/soccerstreams acts an aggregator for individuals linking to live streams of matches from a variety of different sources."

"Live football streaming used to be available on subreddit r/soccerstreams. However, the thread was in breach of Premier League copyright regulations and Reddit’s own user agreement.

‘Global Is Cool’: The Growing Appeal of Premier League Soccer in America

Publication Year: 2019

Quotes

"Fifty-five percent of Premier League fans in the survey were under the age of 45, making it a significantly younger base than the followings for America’s most popular sports leagues,"
"“There are a lot of different psychological needs that you can at least partially meet through sports fandom — one is obviously the need to belong,” said Daniel Wann, a professor at Murray State University and leading expert on the psychology of sports fandom. "
"But another equally powerful need, and one that can be met by following a different team, is the need for distinctiveness. At a basic psychological level, following a distant team gives you something unusual that allows you to stand out among your other sport fan friends,” he said."
"The digital age has helped nurture that impulse, Guppy and Wann said, with online forums and social media providing a digital water cooler scene to connect Americans with fans around the world. The fact that Britons and Americans share a common language gives the Premier League a leg up on its European competitors."
"For a professional sports team looking to establish a connection with teen consumers — perhaps the most desired target audience for professional soccer clubs, Guppy said — a video game is a natural gateway. Long periods of screen time allows people to quickly learn the players, teams and the venues involved, driving interest."
"The early morning weekend games also have created their own soccer culture through the businesses that cater to these fans. In Washington, D.C., the country’s top local EPL market last season, according to NBC Sports, each of the major teams have supporters’ clubs who wake up in time to turn up at bars for 7:30 a.m. kickoffs, where they tuck into full English breakfasts, drink Guinness and join fans across the world in belting out the chants picked up by TV cameras inside the stadiums."

"U.S. soccer fans are also extremely social: 36% of fans aged 26-39 years old became soccer fans due to their friends, compared to 26% of those ages 13-17 years old. These young American soccer fans “have a hunger to watch these games with friends and make it much more of an event in the company of others,” says Romaine. The study indicates there’s “a core group of soccer fans who evangelize the sport — and want others to join them.”"
"With TV viewers averaging 40 years of age, MLS boasts the youngest fan base among the major U.S. sports leagues, according to a Magna Global study released in 2018. "

"More than 35% of UK football supporters on Twitter now follow their team, athletes or media more closely than before they joined a social media network, and feel more closely bonded to that team. This trend is even stronger amongst 16-29 year olds, with 40% of them using social media to follow their team or sport more closely than before. It is the ever increasing importance that social media plays in the daily lifestyle of a football fan that is the key focus of a study undertaken and just released by IMG Consulting."
"However, this younger age group are also far more likely to use social media sites to engage with sports brands. 63% were found to have liked a brand on Facebook with 44% following on Twitter, emphasising both the importance of the medium as well as the opportunity for brands to connect with consumers."
"UK fans check Twitter more than any other social media network on the day their team is playing, looking at their timeline on average 8.4 times per day for sports related content, whilst more than 40% of fans with social media accounts use them to follow scores and statistics during the game. "
"80% of UK sports fans who use social media do so to get information on their team by following individual journalists and feeds from respected and well known newspaper and broadcast outlets. "
