“If They Can Die for Italy, They Can Play for Italy!”: Immigration, Italo-Argentine Identity, and the 1934 Italian World Cup TeamBigalke, Zachary 06 September 2017 (has links)
In 1934, four Argentine-born soccer players participated for the Italian team that won the FIFA World Cup on home soil. As children born to parents who participated in a wave of Italian immigrants that helped reshape Argentine society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these four players were part of a larger trend where over one hundred Argentine soccer players of Italian descent were signed by Italian clubs in the late 1920s and through the 1930s.
This thesis examines the liminal space between Italian and Argentine identity within the broader context of diaspora formation in Argentina through a look at these four exemplars of the transatlantic talent shift. Utilizing sources that include Italian and Argentinian newspapers and magazines, national federation documents, and census and parish records, the thesis reveals the fluidity and temporality of national identity among Italo-Argentine immigrant offspring during the early twentieth century.

Reflexões sobre o território do futebol e a Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 no Brasil /Darn, Telma. January 2011 (has links)
Orientador: Elson Luciano Silva Pires / Banca: Gilmar Mascarenhas de Jesus / Banca: Everaldo Santos Melazzo / Banca: Paulo Roberto Teixeira de Godoy / Banca: Odaleia Telles Marcondes Machado Queiroz / Resumo: Nesta tese nós introduzimos e investigamos o conceito de território do futebol que é regido sob a hegemonia da FIFA em escala global e pelas federações e confederações em escala local. O Brasil sediará em 2014 a Copa do Mundo FIFA sendo considerado um produto inovador no território do futebol brasileiro. Os legados especialmente urbanístico, turístico e de promoção da imagem do país, têm sido fortemente utilizados na sensibilização da população quanto ao aceite dos altos valores a serem investidos com o evento. Considerando-se a inovação, a adaptação e a regulação como a tríade que impulsiona a competitividade, sendo esta última, o pilar mais frágil neste território, identificamos que este evento pouco poderá influenciar no futebol brasileiro / Abstract: In this thesis we introduce and investigate the concept of territory of football. Such territory is governed by the hegemony of FIFA on a global scale and by national associations or confederations on a local scale. In 2014 Brazil will host the FIFA World Cup which is an innovative product in the territory of Brazilian football. The legacies especially urbanistic, touristic and in promoting Brazil's image have been heavily used in raising public awareness about the acceptance of high amounts to be invested in the event. Considering the innovation, adaptation and regulation as the triad that drives competitiveness, the latter being the weakest pillar in the territory of football, we found that this event may have small influence in the Brazilian football / Doutor

An investigation of safety and security measures in Cape Town with respect to the 2010 Soccer World Cup tournamentMwanuhehere, Kambere January 2009 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Business Administration)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009 / Over the years, the history of football has been characterised by several incidents of
violence and disasters. According to Helding et al. (2002:4) globally, since 1945,
approximately 1,000 people are believed to have lost their lives and about 3,400
people have been injured in nearly 30 serious soccer stadium accidents.
In 1989, English soccer witnessed a stampede that left around 96 people dead at
Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield during an FA cup semi-final match between
Liverpool and Nottingham. Similar incidents in Africa occurred in Ghana in May 2001
when 126 supporters died after a stampede at Accra stadium at the end of a local
league game. In South Africa, Ellis Park stadium witnessed a similar disaster on 11
April 2001, which left 43 people dead when soccer giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando
Pirates clashed in a premier league soccer game.
South Africa lost the bid to host the 2004 Olympic Games in Cape Town in favour of
Athens and the 2006 FIFA World Cup to Germany as a result of perceived high crime
rate. Whether perceived or real, issues of safety and security impact negatively on the
image of a host nation.
On the other hand, South Africa was selected to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup
competition, despite a continued prevalence of high crime rates across the country.
More effort from the Government is needed to guarantee adequate safety and security
at soccer stadiums, training venues, and other areas used for public gatherings.
Stakeholders that deal with safety and security, such as SAPS, Metro Police, Fire
Brigade, and emergency medical services, should be deployed in such a way that they
can respond quickly to emergency situations.
A literature review has shown a close relationship between crime and event tourism.
The crime mapping concept, which covers hot spot theory, routine activity, crime pattern
approach and rational choice theory, helps in the understanding that some areas may
be more affected by crime than others and that criminals' motivations can differ.
Some of the most recent mega large-scale events used in the literature review includes:
FIFA Soccer World Cup Competitions in Korea/Japan in 2002 and in Germany in 2006.
This has provided guidance for South African organisers in terms of dealing with
security issues. These examples have also provided a framework of reference on how
to garner support and collaboration of national and international security agencies,
which are relevant to the staging of the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa.
The foundation of this research considers the employees views concerning safety,
security and health in Cape Town. It is envisioned that these ideas can strengthen
future management decisions with regard to preparing safety, security and emergency
services for major events such as the 2010 Soccer World Cup. This should not only
involve taking note of security staff ideas, but also incorporating them into the grand
national safety and security strategy and ensuring the full implementation of the security
strategy at ground-level.

Mainstreaming universal design in Cape Town: FIFA 2010 World Cup(tm)-related activities as catalysts for social changeM'rithaa, Mugendi Kanampiu January 2009 (has links)
Thesis (DTech(Design)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009 / Universal Design (UD), as it is known in the USA and elsewhere, is an inclusive approach to designing for the broader population and is rapidly gaining popularity amongst design practitioners and planners globally. Similar non-exclusive approaches have evolved in diverse parts of the world to counter the systemic disablement and exclusion of vulnerable/special populations of users perpetuated by traditional approaches to design. The transdisciplinary field of UD is informed by concilience in accommodating a wide range of related fields, such as education, landscape architecture, architecture, town and regional planning, industrial/product/three-dimensional design, furniture design, interior design, communication/information/graphic design, interaction design, human-computer interaction (HCI)/usability studies, and ergonomics/human factors engineering. UD proposes a collaborative systems approach that benefits from the synergies of cross-functionalism by approaching the diverse challenges facing society through socially responsible design. In so doing, UD can potentially impact such diverse issues as health, transportation, inclusive education, sports and recreation, entertainment, social welfare, inclusive employment, transgenerational/lifespan housing, inclusive tourism, accessibility, safety, and ecological concerns on sustainability.

Assessing management of risks in the event industry by 2010 with reference to the City of Cape TownMakda, Tahira Jehan January 2008 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008. / Research shows that Cape Town has become one of the most popular and prestigious destinations to visit and has opened its doors to minor and major events worldwide. Successful annual events that have become established in Cape Town, nationally and internationally, include events such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Cape Outdoor Adventure and Travel show, Community Chest Carnival, Design Indaba, Design for Living, Homemakers Expo, Cape Argus Cycle Tour, as well as the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon and the Cape Town International Kite Festival. Venues such as the Cape Town International Convention Centre have become an international trademark and host large events such as the World Diabetes Conference. These events and venues have placed Cape Town in the world’s top ten destinations to visit. Cape Town is currently preparing for the 2010 Soccer World Cup which places much focus on Risk Management and Compliance. Risk Management concerns predictions and preventions and is described as a process of continuous improvement, which is directed towards effective management of potential opportunities and adverse effects that would impact the event. Risk management plays an important role in the planning and organising of these major events. The aim of this study has determined what the common risks were that event stakeholders within the City of Cape Town have found difficult to manage and have regularly encountered. Risk Management has become one of the most important operational domains within the Event Industry within Cape Town, as well as on a global scale. Since Cape Town has become a global player within the events arena, in terms of major events, much focus has been on risk responsibility and accountability.

The impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament on African immigrants in the Western CapeUwimpuhwe, Denys January 2010 (has links)
Thesis (Mtech( Tourism and hospitality management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / This thesis exams the extent to which the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup will impact
on African immigrants in the Western Cape. The study aims to investigate their
awareness, expectations, perceptions, and how they would like to be involved in this
major event. Between 1 November and 30 November, about a year and a half before
the 2010 World Cup starts, 200 immigrants from the African continent who live in the
Republic of South Africa completed the survey instrument.
The study was conducted in two residential areas, two Non-Governmental
Organisations (NGOs) and the Cape Town city centre. A quantitative design using a
questionnaire survey was utilised to establish the opinions of the participants.
Data analysed by means of descriptive statistics was used to obtain the frequencies,
expressed as percentages. The results of this study reveal that African immigrants in
the Western Cape are aware of the 2010 World Cup and the different opportunities of
hosting it on the African continent. African immigrants have positive perceptions and
expectations towards this event. They expect to gain some benefits and are ready to
be involved in this major event. This research also proposes a framework that offers
simple ideas and suggestions to allow the Local Organising Committee (LOC) to
select a suitable level on which to involve African Immigrants of the Western Cape in
the 2010 World Cup, as well as the ‘tools and techniques’ to help the LOC to plan,
implement and evaluate the right community involvement process.
This study could assist in planning and deciding suitable strategies for the Western
Cape Province and the 2010 World Cup Local Organising Committee for community
involvement in this event. It could assist also in making the 2010 World Cup an
African event, by giving it a true African flavour and focus.

Leverage of a sport mega-event branding : a case study of the 2010 FIFA World CupWeszka, Pawel 14 January 2014 (has links)
D.Comm. (Sport Management) / The primary objective of the study was to establish what brand leverage strategies could be implemented in sport mega-event branding based on the case study of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. The secondary objectives focused on discovering the dimensions of sport mega-event branding, investigating the areas of sport mega-event impacts and leverage, identifying sport mega-event brand leverage activation tools and understanding the role of mega-event brand leverage activation tools in the context of their potential influence on the development of small and medium enterprises in the host country. Deriving from the research questions and objectives, a theoretical framework of sport mega-event brand leverage was created. It provided a blueprint for seven hypotheses, formulated in this study. A quantitative descriptive design was employed by the researcher. A self-administered web based questionnaire was uploaded at the Statkon website at the University of Johannesburg. The researcher utilised a purposive judgement sampling technique which targeted small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from the Gauteng and Western Cape provinces in South Africa. The companies were registered on four major online databases in South Africa – The Box, BizConnect, BizNetwork and online Yellow Pages. The main study was preceded by a two-phase pilot where five individuals representing conveniently chosen SMEs located in the city of Johannesburg filled out a hard copy of the questionnaire in each phase. Once the researcher refined the questions following the second pilot, the main research took place. The total of 8 902 emails, containing the website link, were sent out with 239 returned questionnaires accepted as valid to be included in the statistical analysis (2,95% response rate). The questionnaire was available online for five months between July and November 2011. The researcher made use of factor analysis and the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) in the process of data analysis. The exploratory factor analysis enabled a reduction in the total number of latent variables (factors). It was followed by the confirmatory factor analysis, which also computed the goodness-of-fit indices allowing for establishing how well the model explained the data. Once the number of factors were reduced, the EQuationS (EQS) software was used to investigate mutual relationships between different variables and testing the hypotheses. The summary statistics, such as mean, median and standard deviation also helped in the interpretation of the findings. The main finding of the research was that the destination brand (South Africa) was a significant predictor of co-branding and an integral element of the sport mega-event branding (2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa). Co-branding was identified as the main brand leverage strategy – although there were various ancillary events supporting the World Cup. Ultimately the leverage opportunities lay in South Africa co-building the strong 2010 FIFA World Cup brand. In that, South Africa was one of the two dimensions of the mega-event branding which involved event and destination brands. The impact of social and political areas was identified as the most relevant to consider when staging a sport mega-event. In consequence they should be considered by destination brand managers and sport mega-event governing bodies when planning for leverage. Further analysis revealed that national identity and international prestige were found to have been considered as the most valuable areas of mega-event brand leverage in 2010. Close associations between national identity and prestige suggested that achieving one would have an influence on the other. Respondents thought that the aspects related to national identity should be included in marketing communications associated with the mega-event, such as advertising, public relations, sponsorship and licensing. Meanwhile, strengthening of a country’s international prestige should be anticipated when establishing the public relations strategy. In addition, sponsorship and relationship marketing were viewed as potentially having a significant influence on the development of local SMEs while licensing was seen as a solution with the power to boost SMEs growth in the short-term. This suggested that sponsors and other stakeholders should be involved in planning for positive event outcomes from a point of view of a local SME. This research had four main limitations which could not make the findings relevant to the broader population. Those limitations were: the low response rate, specific characteristics of hosting nation South Africa, as well as the fact that the World Cup is the most popular sporting event in the world. In addition, the sample population was limited to South African SMEs located in the Gauteng and Western Cape provinces which had an email and were registered on the four chosen online databases. That decision was driven by the fact that these two provinces are the two major business hubs in the country and were also involved the most in hosting of the World Cup matches in 2010. SMEs’ online presence enabled the researcher to conducts the study in an efficient and cost-effective way. More research is required in the future which would test the framework in different settings, with a different sample and also within an alternative time focus, mainly pre-and post-event.
