Last FIFA

The Denver Post 

The economic principle I researched was: Institutions are the “rules of the game” that influence choices. My overall research question was: What makes international soccer teams successful? How does FIFA ensure that teams are treated equally? Overall, I found that FIFA really helps to ensure that the game is fair by incorporating certain regulations that allows that sport to grow and prosper as well as acquiring for extra needed help. 

 When the game of soccer was started back in the 19th century, the game has come along way. From then, FIFA has added tournaments and designs to better improve the game. The recent addition of goal line technology helps to review undecided goals to see what the actual call should be. This was extremely beneficial in the 2014 and 2018 World Cup. As the sport continues to grow, so does the technology that helps to support the game. Another idea is one of how fast the game is growing.

With women, many prominent figures have been throughout the world to help inspire those of a younger age. These players include: Mia Hamm, Alex Morgan, and Carli Lloyd. Players want to increase their overall fan base to encourage their t
eam to win. Additions like new MLS teams as well as a female league throughout the US also inspire people to come out and support.

 This shows that the sport will continue to develop in new ways to ultimately help better the game of soccer.
