Our latest paper, will soon be available online in European Sport Management Quarterly. It seeks to understand the movement of teams at major international football tournaments through time and assess whether these tournaments are aligned with the environmental goals of their organisers.
Using data from 1990-2024 we attempt to provide a baseline measure of the impact these movements have had on carbon dioxide emissions. All data is publicly available and uses distance calculator and historical football archives to track teams.
This longitudinal study allows us to consider both the expansion of these competitions overtime and improvements in aeroplane technology, with long-haul aircraft now substantially better at reducing CO2 emissions than they were in the past.
Once the paper is available online, we will provide a further update and link.
