The two sports that this assignment will look at are football and tennis.

Throughout the assignment we will look:

* at the scale and economic importance of my two sports

* the organisation and funding of each sport

* the importance of the sports for the mass media

* the way in which the mass media have influenced each sport

* major trends in each of the sports

We are going to look fully into each of these aspects for both football and tennis. We will compare some of the information in each sport to see if any similarities exist. Looking at data and figures will demonstrate my findings for each sport, e.g. the amount of people who participate in the sports.

Organisation and Funding

Football Organisation

FIFA is the overall governing body of football (Federation Internationale de Football Association). It is in charge of the governing bodies that exist. Such as UEFA (Union des Associations Europeennes de Football), they are the body that looks after European football such as the Champions League. They are involved in the organisation of the World Cup qualifying of all the European countries.
