Abstract

Sports tourism can be defined as a leisure trip in order to participate, in different ways, in physical and sports activities. With regard to football, their meetings are major sporting events (social impact, broad level of public attendance, presence of media, television audience, ease of practice and high number of followers), attractions where tourists experience, mainly passively , different activities, either as a spectator or as a visitor of the tourist-soccer attractions. Undoubtedly, football has an important tourist value, especially for the local tourism structure, directly affecting aspects such as the promotion and dissemination of a tourist destination. In this context, football clubs become tourist promoters of their city, in addition to developing other tourist resources (museums, visits, experiences with players, or packages to witness the team "away from home"). Football can make it possible to create a more attractive, diversified tourism product that attracts new market niches.
