The impact of supporter culture on sponsorship collaborations of Allsvenska football clubs : The significance of supporter culture for the sponsorship of Allsvenska football clubs (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur supporterkulturen påverkar sponsringen inom Allsvenska fotbollsklubbar och fylla i den kunskapslucka som finns i tidigare forskning. Kunskapsluckorna låg främst inom förståelsen av hur supporterkulturen och huliganism påverkar sponsringssamarbeten inom den svenska fotbollen. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod, främst genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med representanter från olika storstadsklubbar och ett företag som sponsrade dem. Genom att identifiera återkommande mönster i intervjuerna kunde relevanta teman skapas för att fördjupa förståelsen av fenomenet. De viktigaste resultaten av studien strukturerades kring fem centrala teman: syn på sponsring, kommunikation och relation med sponsorer, kommunikation och relation med supportrar, supporterkulturens positiva- och negativa konsekvenser på sponsringssamarbeten. Resultaten av studien visar att supporterkulturen har en betydande inverkan på Allsvenska fotbollsklubbars arbete med sponsringssamarbeten. Trots att negativa händelser kan påverka klubbens varumärke och relationer med sponsorer, överväger de positiva inslagen från supporterkulturen de negativa aspekterna när det kommer till sponsringssamarbeten. Kommunikationen mellan fotbollsklubbar, supportrar och sponsorer anses vara avgörande för att utveckla långsiktiga och framgångsrika samarbeten. Fynden av denna studie är värdefulla för fotbollsklubbar, sponsorer och forskare inom SportManagement. Studien bidrar till en djupare förståelse av hur supporterkulturen påverkar sponsringen inom Allsvenskan och ger insikter som kan användas för att förbättra och optimera sponsringsrelationer. Denna studie bidrar till en nyanserande bild av hur supporterkulturen påverkar sponsringen inom Allsvenskan och betonar vikten av att förstå och hantera denna dynamik för att främja hållbara relationer mellan fotbollsklubbar och sponsorer.

Abstract [en]

This study aims to investigate how supporter culture affects sponsorship within Allsvenskan football clubs and to fill in the knowledge gap that exists in previous research. The knowledge gaps were mainly in the understanding of how supporter culture and hooliganism affect sponsorship collaborations within Swedish football. The study was carried out using a qualitative method, mainly through semi-structured interviews with representatives from various big city clubs and a company that sponsored them. By identifying recurring patterns in the interviews, relevant themes could be created to deepen the understanding of the phenomenon. The most important results of the study were structured around five central themes: views on sponsorship, communication and relationship with sponsors, communication and relationship with supporters, the positive and negative consequences of supporter culture on sponsorship collaborations. The results of the study show that the supporter culture has a significant impact on Allsvenskan football clubs' work with sponsorship collaborations. Although negative events can affect the club's brand and relationships with sponsors, the positive elements of supporter culture outweigh the negative aspects when it comes to sponsorship partnerships. Communication between football clubs, supporters and sponsors is considered crucial to developing long-term and successful collaborations. The findings of this study are valuable to football clubs, sponsors and researchers in Sport Management. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how supporter culture affects sponsorship within the Allsvenskan and provides insights that can be used to improve and optimize sponsorship relationships. This study contributes to a nuanced picture of how supporter culture affects sponsorship within the Allsvenskan and emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing this dynamic in order to promote sustainable relationships between football clubs and sponsors.
