Average interest in the 28 countries* (“Very interested” + “Interested” – non-proportionalised)
The UEFA Champions League is the most global of all annual sporting events, generating consistently high
interest across all continents.
The Barclays Premier League and its clubs also provide a global advertising platform for sponsors. In
worldwide terms, the interest in the English league is consistently very high to high. The USA is the only
market where interest is not as strong.
La Liga BBVA is in global focus thanks to its two outstanding clubs, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF. In
contrast to the two other football competitions and Formula 1, interest levels vary more strongly from country
to country.
The NBA has many fans. However, two thirds of them come from China and the USA (303 million). If these
two countries are not observed, the US basketball league generates a comparatively low score as a global
event.

FACTS: Global events – Average interest per country in seven
regions for five major annual sporting events
4
UEFA Champions League
Almost half of Europeans are interested in the UEFA Champions League. The interest of 43% in Western Europe and 44% in Eastern Europe in football„s top club competition is outstanding.
The UEFA Champions League is either ranked 1 or 2 amongst the annual global events in every region apart from Australasia.
Barclays Premier League
In many Asian countries (e.g. China), the UEFA Champions League and Barclays Premier League interest more people than the AFC Champions League or the relevant domestic league.
In Australia, many people are also interested in football. In addition to the domestic league, the focus here is on the Barclays Premier League (23%).
Formula 1
Formula 1 even generates higher interest than top class European football in South America.
Eastern Europe has a high affinity to motorsport.
La Liga BBVA
Interest in La Liga BBVA is consistent around the world. In every region, the Spanish league interests an average of 21-26% of the population per country except Australia.
NBA
With the exception of America and Australia, the NBA generates the lowest interest per country on average.
The NBA„s visits to Europe in recent years have not succeeded in increasing interest levels.
In Mexico, interest in the NBA (38%) is higher than in the USA (30%).

Focus: Trend graph - Interest in the NBA in China

The NBA occupies a unique position on the Chinese sporting landscape. It
is unusual for a foreign domestic league to generate such a high level of
interest. Only international sporting events such as the Olympic Summer
Games, FIFA World Cup and the Asian Games rival this score.
The reason for the Chinese enthusiasm for the NBA was the move of star
Yao Ming to the Houston Rockets in 2002. Ming„s absence due to injury in
the 2009/10 season played a major role in the decline in interest to 56%.
The NBA founded „NBA China“ in 2008 to establish itself and basketball in
China on a sustained basis – even following the conclusion of Ming„s career.

Focus: A unique sport business market– Interest in
selected events in the USA
6
The USA is a highly enthusiastic sporting nation, interested in a wide range of sports and events.
The focus of US citizens is primarily on their own traditional sports (American football, baseball), leagues
(NBA) or series (motorsport). The Olympic Summer Games is the only event able to infiltrate the top group
of events.
The USA assumes a unique role regarding global sporting events. In contrast to Autralia or India, for
example, where domestic sports or leagues also play a dominant role, Formula 1 and football are minority
sports here.
