Fatores associados à renda dos jogos de futebol nos estádios de Alagoas: uma análise do campeonato alagoano de 2009 a 2019

Abstract

Among the themes that grew the most in the new century for studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences is that of dealing with sports. Soccer in particular generates greater attention in the country given the construction of symbolic capital around this sport over more than 100 years here. It has become a big business for different industries since almost the beginning of its development, presenting a similar trajectory in different countries, the difference of which will be according to the political and economic conditions of each location. Thus, this study aims to analyze the factors associated with the income from soccer matches in the stadiums of Alagoas in the period between 2009 and 2019, taking into account the Alagoas Championship. Based on data from the Alagoas Football Federation, descriptive statistics and econometric models were explored in order to present to the local society the importance and potential of the tournament based on data. The models, estimated by OLS, showed a strong presence of the public and of the net revenue in games that presented high rivalry between the clubs and in decisive phases. The other variables in the models were found to have less impact, but in general, they were statistically significant and followed the expected results, despite some exceptions.
