“…Matches and competitions are an important stage in player development, providing opportunities for them to apply the skills and knowledge they have learned in real situations (Liu et al, 2016). Quality facilities and experienced support are important factors in successful football coaching (Leite et al, 2023). Evaluation and monitoring of player progress is necessary to identify areas of improvement and set goals (González-Víllora et al, 2015).…”

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the research trends in football training for young players under 18 years old in the last 15 years. Materials and methods. This was a bibliometric analysis and systematic review study. Articles published since 2008 were searched for by the keywords “Football Training” and “Football Exercise” using a comprehensive strategy on SCOPUS research journal databases. There were 1,053 articles with 4802 citations mined on October 17th, 2023. Thereafter, 217 articles were selected for further analysis by using VOS Viewer computer software. Results. The United Kingdom (67), The United States (60), and Spain (41) were the three countries that had the most publications in football training. There were 6 keyword clusters that reflected various research focuses on football training for younger players. Based on the top 10 most cited references in football training for younger players, there were several major themes that covered various aspects of the research trend and development in the last 15 years, i.e. (1) Factors in the Development of Young Football Players, (2) Tactical Analysis and Collective Behavior in Small-Sided Games, (3) Game Intensity and Activity Profile in Young Football Players, (4) Plyometric Training and Its Effects on Preadolescent Players, and (5) Injury Prevention and Neuromuscular Training in Adolescent Football Players. Conclusions. Football research for under-18 players has grown rapidly. This research trend shows that football requires not only physical and technical skills, but also social and mental aspects. Further research can be directed toward understanding and integrating holistic aspects of football coaching, including the development of non-physical skills, such as leadership, teamwork, and conflict resolution. Further investigation into the use of technology in football coaching, such as video analysis, sensor-based performance measurement, and artificial intelligence applications to provide deeper insight into player progress.

“…Contrary to the above studies, some studies give different results. For example, Leite et al (2023) examined whether moving to new stadiums affected the home advantage (HA) of European professional football teams. The sample included 98 teams from 25 football leagues.…”

Our investigation explores the asymmetric association between sports facilities investment and football revenue in the top 10 nations with the highest sports facilities investment. This study employs a distinctive methodology, “Quantile‐on‐Quantile,” to probe the interconnectedness of time series within each country. The findings reveal that investments in sports facilities have a predominantly positive impact on football revenue in the selected economies, particularly in various segments of the data distribution. It underscores the importance of implementing policies that maximize the effect of sports facilities investment on football revenue and inform public policy decisions.

“…The better performance of home teams may be caused by several factors. Home teams are more familiar with the field and environment than the away teams as they constantly play there (Leite et al, 2022;Loughead et al, 2003;Pollard, 2002;Schwartz & Barsky, 1977). Similarly, away teams need to travel which causes fatigue and should add further to the HA (McHill & Chinoy, 2020;Pollard et al, 2008).…”

The current pandemic has changed how we watch sporting events. With the complete or partial absence of fans in stadiums, the advantage that home teams normally enjoy has been considerably reduced. This has confirmed that the home fans’ support is the main cause of the home advantage (HA) phenomenon, where teams perform better in front of their supporters. We still do not know, however, how the reduced attendance impacts games where much more at stake is than is the case in everyday league matches, which were used in previous research. Here we investigate the recently finished European football championship (EURO 20), where several teams enjoyed home advantage in high-stake games with only one third of the stadium filled. We want to demonstrate the impact of the COVID-19 restrictions that resulted in the lower numbers of the fans on the HA by comparing the HA at the EURO 20 with:1) the HA that the same teams possessed in the qualifications leading up to EURO 20, and 2) the HA compared to the previous 15 European championships.
