Global football brands such as the English Premier League are followed by more than a billion people around the world and over 260 million of these are in Africa. The connection between these fans and the clubs are beyond what an umbilical chord serves between a mother and baby. What accounts for this passion? Why do people love clubs passionately? Why will people take the Barcelona vs Chelsea (Champions League) return clash so personally? How can local clubs learn from some of these outside clubs?
What if you could understand your fans so deeply that you provide value beyond their dreams and in return, they stay with you through thick and thin?
