Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of study
The amateur soccer clubs market includes all French soccer players who are not classified as professionals (i.e. all French soccer players excluding Ligue 1 and Ligue 2). In France, soccer is managed and administered by the French Football Federation and the Amateur Football League (part of the FFF).
The market for amateur soccer clubs thus encompasses the amateur licensees of the soccer federation, the clubs' governing bodies, the equipment manufacturers, the clubs' structures and so on. Although soccer, France's favorite sport with 2.18 million licensees in 2021, has seen a decline in interest in recent years, the number of amateur footballers has risen steadily.interest in recent years, the discipline has been given a major boost by two events: the 2018 Men's World Cup, and the organization in Paris of the 2019 Women's World Cup (220,352 registered players).
French amateur soccer is thus seeing a big increase in the number of female licensees, both in terms of players but also managers and regional or local management committees.
There are many equipment manufacturers in France who dress amateur soccer, including Puma, Adidas and Nike, as well as lesser-known names such as Macron, Eldera and Elima.
