Abstract

ABSTRACT In December 2019, FC Copenhagen and Malmö FF met in the final round of the UEFA Europa League group stage. The match was in media labelled ‘the battle of the bridge’ since the two clubs from Denmark and Sweden were just a bridge apart. The two clubs both have the ambition to be a leading club in Scandinavia and the aim of this paper is to examine to what extent it is possible to determine which one of the two clubs can claim to be superior in Scandinavia. The evaluation is based on a comparison of the two clubs’ performance in three dimensions: success in sports, financial performance and contribution to society. Given the different organizational and contextual conditions, a relative comparative approach was used. Results show that none of the clubs is superior as a whole, but have respective strong competitive advantages in the individual dimensions.

“桥之战”:追求斯堪的纳维亚足球的优势
2019年12月,哥本哈根FC与Malmö FF在欧联杯小组赛最后一轮相遇。这场比赛被媒体称为“桥之战”,因为这两家来自丹麦和瑞典的俱乐部只隔了一座桥。这两家俱乐部都有成为斯堪的纳维亚领先俱乐部的雄心,本文的目的是研究在多大程度上可以确定这两家俱乐部中的哪一家可以声称在斯堪的纳维亚是优越的。该评估是基于对两家俱乐部在三个方面的表现进行比较:体育成绩、财务表现和对社会的贡献。考虑到不同的组织和背景条件,采用了相对比较的方法。结果表明,各俱乐部在整体上都不占优势,但在个体维度上各有较强的竞争优势。
