Abstract

[en] In football, some teams win while others lose. However, what really matters in this sport? This thesis tries to determine which variables could have a potential influence on team performance for the top Belgian football championship known as the Jupiler Pro League. To achieve this, an empirical analysis is undertaken thanks to a panel data from the 2009-2010 season to the 2018-2019 season. The results show that higher salaries expenditures, extra competitive games in European or national cups, and better attendance improve seasonal achievement. Nevertheless, when the sample is reduced to only clubs out of the five best Belgian teams, it appears that only more substantial financial incomes are positively correlated to seasonal achievement. Lastly, the analysis of the play-offs 1 since their implementation, reveals the effect of additional games becomes negative and high ranking at the end of the regular competition impact significantly triumph in that second stage of the competition.
