The Effectiveness of Stadiums Public Funding: The French Model Failure
This contribution aims to evaluate the results of 13 programmes of French stadiums construction/renovation, jointly conducted by State and local authorities between 2008 and 2016. The objective was to contribute to the development of professional football economies, on the model of Germany’s programmes implemented between 2001 and 2006. The study compares France and Germany. It shows that the French programmes have failed to achieve the desired results. The study concludes on the necessity to realise a co-construction for the future French programmes of sports equipment.
