Using the example of the club Borussia VfL 1900 Mönchengladbach, this study examines the regional economic effects of football clubs. The fundamental theoretical discussion of the topic is followed by a detailed empirical analysis. Unlike most investigations dealing with this subject, however, the empirical analysis is not confined to estimating the regional value-added and employment effects resulting from income payments, expenditure on material resources and fan spending. Rather, it also empirically examines whether a football club positively influences the perception and image of the municipality in which it is based, whether it helps to strengthen residents’ identification with their home town, and whether it promotes the location of businesses or the emergence of regional cooperation networks.
