GSIQ: Canada's Next Generation of Sports Fans white paper

Young Canadians are less intense about their sports fandom than other markets. A third describe themselves as a 'regular follower'. They are also least likely to say they'd follow a new league or sport. So how do you crack this audience? Download our white paper to find out more.

We asked 5,000 young people across 11 markets one big question: what will it take to make you a sports fan?

Today we're sharing our findings with you from eight markets – in the form of easy-to-read white papers. Analysis from the Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, MENA, the UK and the USA is now available. A bundle with all 8 white papers is also available to download.

WHY READ?

The number one reason young people become fans isn’t what most rights-holders or sponsors spend their money on. It’s something else altogether.

• Some sports are much better at converting their participants to fans. We reveal which ones perform the best.
• 70% call themselves fans. Only 8% are superfans. The white paper shows you where that gap closes.
• From cost to community, learn what young people say will make them bigger fans of a sport.
