Nogomet kot družbeni kapital : ekonomski, socialni in zdravstveni učinki množične udeležbe

Končar Zavrl, Urška (author)

Nogomet presega okvir športa, saj pomeni družbeni kapital z izjemnimi učinki na gospodarski razvoj, zdravje prebivalstva in socialno povezanost. Raziskava Nogometne zveze Slovenije in UEFE, izvedena v okviru projekta UEFA GROW SROI, je pokazala, da množična udeležba v nogometu v Sloveniji prinaša večplastne koristi. Na gospodarski ravni nogomet ustvarja več deset milijonov evrov dodane vrednosti in nekaj tisoč delovnih mest. Na socialnem področju prispeva k zmanjšanju kriminala, spodbuja prostovoljstvo in krepi izobraževalne dosežke mladih. Zdravstveni učinki so še izrazitejši, saj redna nogometna dejavnost zmanjšuje tveganje za kronične bolezni in prinaša znatne prihranke zdravstvenemu sistemu. Analiza potrjuje, da je nogomet lahko strateška naložba z visoko donosnostjo, ki krepi odpornost in konkurenčnost družbe.

• Title: Football as social capital : economic, social and health impacts of mass participation

Abstract

Football goes beyond sport, serving as social capital with significant impacts on economic growth, public health, and social cohesion. The study conducted by the Football Association of Slovenia and UEFA within the UEFA GROW SROI framework revealed that mass participation in football generates broad benefits. Economically, football contributes tens of millions of euros and supports thousands of jobs. Socially, it helps reduce crime, promotes volunteering, and enhances educational outcomes for young people. Health impacts are even more pronounced, as regular football activity lowers the risk of chronic diseases and results in substantial healthcare savings. The findings confirm that football can be a strategic investment with high returns, strengthening societal resilience and competitiveness.
