Traveling for Football Events : Supporters' Motivators and Restrictions

The aim of this research was to discover what motivates people to attend various football events and what kind of restrictions they meet when trying to arrange the trip. The study was conducted in order to provide information on the differences between fans regarding all the factors that they take into consideration before travelling to a football game. In addition to that, the research aimed to reveal sta-tistics about the sample’s preference in football teams and football leagues. The research method that was used was a qualitative method of study. The study was conducted via a private interview between the author and the participants. The main reason for choosing a qualitative method of study was based on the fact that the aim was to have control of the sample and focus only on real/true support-ers of this specific sport. The results of the study revealed that the most common motivators for football supporters to travel to a football event was their urge to support the team and watch them live followed by the importance of the game. The youngest group be-low the age of 26 years old was interested more in the opponent of their team and the significance of the match whereas the other age groups prioritized their favor-ite team. As restrictions are concerned, financial reasons/situation gathered the most answers within the whole sample while lack of free time came second.
