Study "Situation Analysis Professional Football 2017"
In May 2017, FC PlayFair! in cooperation with the sports magazine kicker, the "Situation Analysis Profifußball 2017" published. As part of this scientific study, fans of all clubs in the first and second Bundesliga were asked: “Where are you hurting?” The aim of this study, carried out by the German Institute for Sports Marketing at the University of Economics and Environment (HfWU) Nürtingen-Geislingen , was to Identify problems as broadly as possible and show possible solutions. 17,330 football fans from all over Germany took part in the study. Many media reported about it. The study is available free of charge on the association's website.
UNESCO application
The club sees the football fan culture as a cultural asset worth protecting. For this purpose, an application was submitted to UNESCO to protect this football fan culture in times of over-commercialization.
Survey kick-off times / video evidence
Together with the sports magazine kicker , a survey was carried out on the kick-off times of the Bundesliga . 186,254 people took part. As a result, nine out of ten participants categorically rejected Monday evening as the kick-off time. Another survey on the subject of video evidence was also carried out in summer 2019 , in which 153,723 football fans took part. The results clearly show that the video evidence does not work in its current form.
Codetermination fans
It was made by a member of PlayFair! a scientific work on the question of how and whether members of clubs can exercise more co-determination - as “fan representatives on supervisory boards” of the Bundesliga clubs.
