Objective: This study aims to compare the basic aerodynamic characteristics of the official Qatar World Cup soccer ball with those of the official Korean soccer balls. Method: In this study, wind tunnel experiments were conducted to compare the fundamental aerodynamic properties of two commonly used domestic soccer balls, the Star and Nassau, with the Al Rihla, the official ball of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Results: The findings revealed that the Nassau soccer ball exhibited changes in aerodynamic characteristics depending on its orientation, particularly at low speeds (below 15 m/s), while the Al Rihla showed variations in aerodynamic characteristics at medium to high speeds (15 m/s to 35 m/s) based on its orientation. Furthermore, the results of lift and side force variations indicated that the Star soccer ball exhibited larger changes compared to other soccer balls, suggesting that it may exhibit the most irregular flight path during strong shots (around 30 m/s or approximately 100 km/h). However, there were no differences in aerodynamics observed among the soccer balls in the medium-speed range (20~25 m/s). Conclusion: The comparison of aerodynamics between the Korean soccer balls and the most recently used World Cup official ball showed that, while the Korean balls exhibited slightly greater changes in lift and side forces compared to the World Cup ball, there were no significant differences in most of the aerodynamic characteristics.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand fans' perception of the MLS. Particularly, this study investigates both the avid fan's perception of the MLS as well as the same perception in a potentially larger audience. This study aims at (1) segmenting the findings into three groups, (2) understanding the characteristics of these groups from the sport marketing prospective and (3) comparing the three groups to see whether there are any similarities and differences. Research design, data, and methodology: Using motivational factors alongside the 4P's of marketing, these three segments were analyzed and their similarities and differences were compared. An online survey was created and distributed through different MLS databases. Results: Prior to the distribution, a few hypotheses were made regarding the motivational factors of fans; specifically, that the quality of play has led to a lack of interest in the league and that the presence of star athletes has the potential to bring in more fans for the league. The quality of play and star athletes are important and thus a bigger emphasis needs to be placed on the designated player rule. At the same time, more television coverage as well as more exhibition games with international teams can generate more buzz for the league and garner more fans. Conclusions: This study explored motivational factors which support fanship of Major League Soccer. Further implications were discussed.

This study multi-dimensionally analyzes a sport documentary, All or Nothing: Manchester City, which is an original content on Prime Video, an American Over-The-Top (OTT) platform. Due to the success of South Korean soccer player Heung-min Son who plays Tottenham Hotspur of England, the popularity of the English Premier league is recently the greatest in South Korea along with the fact that soccer has been a popular sport for a long time. This study focuses on the success of the soccer club, Manchester City, which has become a rising star with its huge investment from United Arab Emirates; Manchester City won the league four times since 1992/1993 season. Also, during the 2017/2018 season, the background the documentary, Manchester City won the league title with new records, which shows the greatness of Manchester City. Especially, this study examines the documentary by 1) Story 2) Type of Scene 3) How to watch. Thus, this study explores not only the aspects of team-themed sport documentary that shows how and why Manchester City is excellent, but also the traits of the original content that explores the structure of the media platform.

The purpose of this study is to comprehend the contemporary sports star fashion and to contemplate aesthetic characteristics of sports star fashion, thereby to establish the styles of sports star fashion. For such purposes, this study first examines aesthetic characteristics of sports fashion and star fashion based on previous studies, in order to analyze aesthetic characteristics of sports star fashion, and conducts a case study by analyzing photographic materials of fashion styles of well-known male sports stars such as the English soccer player David Beckham and American golf player Tiger Woods. The result of this study is as follows: the aesthetic characteristics of the contemporary sports star fashion are virility, functionality, sensuality and deconstruction. (1) Virility emphasizes manly features by displaying trained and disciplined body. (2) Functionality is expressed through structural simplicity and temperance of decoration. High-tech textiles and fibers are favored in order to fit in comfortable bodily movement for the heavy exercises. (3) Sensuality, as an expression of indulgence of sexual pleasure, is expressed through bodily exposure. Lastly, (4) deconstruction, which means destroying existed boundaries of cultural categories, is shown as co-existence of design elements from different times and places, stereotypes and sensibilities.

이 연구는 한국인의 월드컵 축구 이벤트 스포츠 캐릭터의 선호요인이 무엇인지를 귀납적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 다음과 같은 연구방법을 사용하였다. 먼저 조사를 위한 대상은 D광역시의 10대, 20대, 30대, 40대 각각 30명을 표집 하였다. 월드컵 축구 이벤트의 12개 스포츠 캐릭터 중 빈도분석으로 선정된 네 개의 캐릭터를 최종대상으로 하였고 질적자료분석을 위한 질문지는 '귀하는 본 캐릭터의 어떤 측면이 좋습니까?'라는 개방형으로 구성하여 설문을 실시하였다. 그 결과 월드컵 축국의 스포츠 캐릭터에 대해 사람들이 가지는 선호요인은 연령별로 다르게 나타났는데, 종합적으로 정리하면, 한국인들은 캐릭터와 관련하여 다섯가지 차원에서 공통적으로 선호하는 요인을 지니고 있는데 이는 외형성, 내면성, 의미성, 다양성, 특이성 있었다. 구체적으로, '외형성'의 경우 귀여운 생김새나 운동(축구)을 잘할 것 같은 모습, 다양하고 화려한 색상, 친근한 소재가 선호요인으로 포함되었고, '내면성'에서는 친근하고, 애국적인 이미지를, '의미성'에선 축구와 관련된 특별한 의미가 함축되어 있는 것을 선호하였다. 마지막 특이성은 한국의 응원음식문화로 인해 선호하는 요인이 분석되었다.

Football (soccer) is one of the most popular sports in the world. A huge number of people watch live football matches by TV or Internet. A football match takes 90 minutes, but viewers may only want to watch a few highlights to save their time. As far as we know, there is no such a product that can be put into use to achieve intelligent highlight extraction from live football matches. In this paper, we propose an intelligent editing system for live football matches. Our system can automatically extract a series of highlights, such as goal, shoot, corner kick, red yellow card and the appearance of star players, from the live stream of a football match. Our system has been integrated into live streaming platforms during the 2018 FIFA World Cup and performed fairly well.
