Abstract-
The main objective of my research was to find out the priority of football fans in NSU. I also aim
to figure out whether they find club football more exciting or not and does watching club football
games affected on the behavior for following world cup. This study told as that people enjoy
club football games rather than world cup and international matches. They do fell connected
when they watch club football because it’s more regular and it has become their part of life. The
players are the best players and the games are full of excitement. Gullaume (2016) notes “The
game isn’t competitive and the players don’t want to be injured” (para 3). However people were
confused about their priorities because they do some things which aren’t logical but they do it
because they love but when the time is to publishing the result they got confused. It happened
during the study, people feel that international matches should be more exciting but they do
prefer to watch club football. This study thoroughly uncovered the feelings of the football fans of
NSU.

Introduction-
When I was child I used to see different kinds of flags flying during the world cup. Not far away
in 2014 I had felt the craziness among the people for the football world cup. But this year I
haven’t seen as much as craziness as I saw before. There are hardly any flags in the roofs or
people supporting their teams passionately. Wood (2014) said it has a great love of sports and is
their main form of entertainment (para 1). Now people see a lot of club football matches and
they also follow it seriously. These club football games are so frequent and exiting that people
don’t feel same for the world cup matches. Before 90’s football was very popular among the
people. They tried to follow the FIFA World Cup and the people of Bangladesh were one of the
enthusiast followers. After the cable channels arrived vastly people started to watch club football
games and that became part of their life. As there is always somethings happening in the club
football world, they don’t feel bore and try to relate those things. They support their club no
matter which country player they have. They feel that their club have the best players in the
contrary they feel that the national team doesn’t always have better players. However there are a
lot people who don’t watch football games at all but try to follow world cup as it has become a
festive throughout the world. People sometimes compared to their religious festival and
sometimes they consider this as big as EID (Mark, 2010, para 8). We cannot neglect their
feelings as they are also helping us to have this event successful one. Sam (2014) stated that
“The World Cup inspires interest in people who don’t normally watch football” (para 15). So it
I want to research why their excitement for international tournaments has decreased. I have
noticed that people now a days don’t care about their national team support. They only think that
how well their club doing. For this reason they are not excited about world cup as it is not game
between the clubs. They prefer Champions league rather than FIFA World Cup. Football fans of

Research Methodology-
For my primary research, I will conduct a survey on NSU students. I hope to have a sample size
of about 24 to 30 people. I will also design a questionnaire with different types of questions to
get a range of useful data which will help me to answer my research questions. As for my
secondary research, I plan to use to resources of the library and will also consult several books
and websites regarding photography. I also hope to do some reading on the subtext through
In order to collect sufficient data about the priorities of football fans in NSU I hosted a survey
questioning various aspects on my topic. The collected data helped me to draw conclusions about
my research topic. The questions were completed by a group of 24 students of whom there were
12 male and 12 female. The data collected is presented and analyzed in the following pages.

My second question was about their affection towards club football, whether they love it or not. I
found some specific answers. In this chart we can see that 50% of the people love this game very
much and 20% people do love it but not as strongly as possible. 25% of the people feel that they
are neutral. They don’t love it but they don’t hate it also. 5% people do hate this game.

This bar graph shows us the information about the people how often do they watch club football
games. As we are conducting the survey to determine the priority, so it is necessary to know that
do our interviews watch club football or not. We can see in the graph that about 60% of the
people watch club football regularly. 10% of them try to follow them regularly and 12% of them
try to follow once in a month. 18% of them don’t actually into club football. So we can see that a

We needed to distinguish between club football and international matches. So I asked two
questions to know that in which sector they follow most. In this survey I found out that people
are more into world cup rather than other matches. In this graph we can see that maximum
people around 45% watch only world cup. 15% of the people watch particular tournament which
they like. Only 5% people try to follow this in a month and last one is 35% try to be regular with
international matches.

This pie chart tried to explain the excitement of the football fans of NSU. The scale is from one
to five from not exciting to very much exciting. So if any one chooses five it means club football
is very much exciting to him or her and if she/she chooses one it means it is not exciting to him
at all. So we can see that a large portion of people found it very much exciting. It’s around 44%
and 20% people think it’s exciting but not up to the mark. 17% people feel neutral. They don’t
think it’s exciting and they also don’t think it’s not exciting. Lastly 13% people feel like club

This pie chart tried to explain the excitement of the football fans of NSU. The scale is from one
to five from not exciting to very much exciting. So if any one chooses five it means international
football is very much exciting to him or her and if she/she chooses one it means it is not exciting
to him at all. The doughnut graph is giving us some information. This graph is showing us that
around half of the people think that the games are very much exciting. They enjoy them very
much. 27% find it exciting but it could improve. 17% people think it’s neutral. They find it
exciting sometimes and sometimes not. In the end 5% people think that this game is boring and
The 7th question is one of the important questions for my research. This question asked about
your priority. People had to choose one, they care for club football or they care for national team
glory and 80% of the people choose the club success. However 20% people care for national
team glory. This graph accurately differentiate the priority of the football fans of NSU.

This question actually directly related to my hypothesis. This graph tried to show us do people
find club football games more exciting than international tournaments. The options were from
strongly agree to strongly disagree. In the graph we can see that around 30% of people strongly
agrees with the statement and 40% of the people agrees with the statement. In other words
people do find cub football games more exciting than international tournaments. 20% of people
were neutral, they don’t seems to care about it. 10% people think that international games are
more exciting than club football as they disagreed with the statement and lastly no one strongly

We are in the question of this survey. And in the last graph it tried to tell us that do people think
that after watch club football games their interest for world cup decreased. 20% of the people
strongly agreed with it and 50% of the people agreed with it. In other words this 70 percent
people think that after watching club football games their interest for world cup decreased. 20%
people are neutral with this statement. And lastly 10% of the whole disagreed with the statement
that they think the interest for the world cup hasn’t decreased. No one strongly disagreed with
the statement.

The data I collected by doing the survey matched with my hypothesis. I tried to see the priority
of the football fans of NSU whether they like club football more than international football or not
and for watching the club football do there excitement for the world cup decreased. Among all
the information and comments we can conclude that people do prefer watching club football
regularly and they feel very much connected to it. They think that the international games are
more prestigious than the club football but as a viewer the club football games are much more
interesting and exciting than the international football. There are a lot of gossips and rumors for
the club football and people enjoy it whether they actually don’t know many of the international
team players.
When I did my secondary research I found out that it was very much known topic and people
have a lot of debate in this topic. Different country people have different perspective about this
thing. “There is something romantic and emotional about international success” (Sam, 2016,
para 4) .In the countries where club football is much established they prefer the club football
more rather than the countries where the national football is more established. Interesting region
is where both are established in the same amount. It was difficult for them to come to a
conclusion.
I had some difficulties doing this research because half of the sample were female and they are
not into football. So their answer shifted the graphs a little bit. If I had some proper football fans
than I would think the percentage that people agreed with the hypothesis will much more than
18
now. Females sometimes don’t care about this things which is systematic error for the research.
The results would be much symmetric if the samples were a little bit helpful.
Conclusion-
In conclusion club football games have become important part of the football fans of NSU. It has
impact in various ways. After cable channels arrival they started to move towards club football
rather than international game. Students of NSU spend a large chunk of time watching these
games in the midnight. This has become good source of entertainment for them. They prefer to
see things that excites them the most. Although representing international teams and watching
