CHAPTER ONE:

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Zambians enjoys a good game of football since the 90s till date, football is one of the most
popular and celebrated sport around Zambia and the world at large. Zambia established their
national football team all the way back in 1929, and was governed by the Football Association of
Zambia (FAZ), who still runs the team today. Inspiring local tournaments among the small local
teams like Kabwe, Zesco and red arrows. With tournaments like the ABSA cup, the football fan
base has increased at a fast rate even more when Zambia national team won the Africa cap in
2012.

Football management system is a system that will be used to manage football competition with
news of played, next in line match/ matches of the tournament. Basically the system will be
designed to suit with the current football tournament starting from registration process. The
football management system will be able to show personal information, team information and
news up date. While in the system, Admin manages various games, tournament schedule, news
and terms.

Football is played all over Zambia, even in the remotest villages of the country. This system will
attempt to explore and analyses the diffusion and development of football in Zambia, help fans
keep up to date with the games been played in areas that were not possible to be present in due to
location, time, money any personal reasons.

1.2. Background

Sports Club Management Services website (www.sportsclubservices.com). The front page of this
website only loads the HTML document and the header image. There are no JavaScript or CSS.
The name implies that it is a system directed at any sports club, all through the system is
designed for volleyball club management system, this system dedicated to volleyball clubs. The
system is designed to be a management service, not a content management service. The service
enables the volleyball club manager to handle player registration, player billing, group emails,
event scheduling and player attendance.

The website is pure HTML without any CSS or JavaScript, makes it look simple and outdated
and old. All page changes create a HTTP request, but as the returned documents are small, the
system is fast. The service provided also includes player information pages, but it cannot be
considered a content management system. To use the service, the club needs a website: "All you
need to use they service is your club's website. This system only works with your webmaster to
establish the necessary links to get the system operational".

The Club Website has full permission and rights to advertise and generate revenue from
advertising on your website. If necessary, you will allow Club Website to reposition the content
on your website in order to accommodate any 3rd party advertising. Club Website reserves the
right to append a hyperlink to their own website at the very end of each page designed for you. It
also allows the governing football association to display messages and other communications on
a designated area on the website.

Zambianfootball.co.zm: This is an online system that feeds news and post of games been played
local and updates the results of the games.

Zambianeye.com: This is an online system that has the history of the Zambian football and is
mainly focused on the business side of football, like lodging and food when fans are watching
the games and places for them to rest in the case where matches end at a late hour.

Sports office performance management system: this post only results of the clubs playing, with
highlights of the played games.

1.3. Problem analysis/statement

Local games are mostly set all across Zambia, and most of them having the same or different
time and date making it hard for fans to watch and keep track of the favorite clubs and player
information. According to (Zambia Daily Mail, June 24, 2019), football Fans have been faced
with a challenge of choosing which games to watch and which ones not to watch, if the all show
at the same day but different locations. While location affects fans, games might be set in
different provinces depending on the stadiums picked. For example, games might be on the same
date but one is at National Heroes stadium (Lusaka) well another game might be set at Levy
Mwanawasa Stadium (Ndola). The transport cost of moving to and from Lusaka to Levy stadium
needs not less than k1200 inclusive of toll gates bills and fuel, ZNBC not been able to show all
matches been played, like the final ABSA cup game between Zesco United and Zanaco, which
recorded a low turnout at the 49,800 capacity levy Mwanawasa Stadium did not please the
president. Therefore, more reason for implementing this system to support the life of local games
in Zambia.

Zambia football clubs and FAZ do less of advertising of the games, most of advertising is done
by banners on round aborts, and most football Fans are working for companies that have a work
schedule and with different work schedule fans have to balance careers and the love of the game.
Fans avoid or pay less attention to banners on the round abort due to congestion or rush for work,
hence posters on the roads play very low parts of advertising to the fans. They are several studies
that try to achieve these rows like, (Zambiafootball.co.zam; Zambianeye.com). Have examined
the role of adverting using internet and tried to understanding the theoretical importance of
match update with fans. The system helps fans to view live updates of the match as it is played
using the designed system at the comfort of their office, needless to say, killing two birds with
one stone.

Take for as example managing the task of the Zambian under 20 team where you have a player,
coach and now staff member, it can be seen from two perspectives, that’s inside (team) and
outside (partners). From the outside perspective, management has the task of filling paper with
amounts of personal data and delivers it to the team. Meanwhile, from the inside or team
perspective, players have to give information to the partners and sign for their information on
papers maybe even more things. These tasks are performed with no use of technology at all for a
6
long time, not until someone introduces them to a system that will allow correcting of data and
display of it. That is where the football management system comes in with database to store
players and partner’s data. The database is to be created using MYSQL and kept in the club’s
office computer. Although the local database is a first step to solve some issues with the data on
paper, it will generate a new problem, the requirement of a personal with knowledge to use it,
which can be harder than expected in a football club. Problems identified with accessing the
database are:

- Keeping information only on paper is no longer an option.

- Need for persons with the knowledge to use or access database.

- Task to entry new data and maintain the current data in the database.

- If the computer breaks, the data will get lost unless you have a regular backup system.

Nevertheless, there appears to be no clear research on the mediating role of football management
system with the relationship between Fans and Clubs updates. The existing studies mainly
investigate training and matches played. However, this gap in Fans, Clubs and management has
not been investigated clearly in the existing literature. Thus, due to this gap, a study is required to
develop a framework centered on the role of FMS as a mediating variable in the relationship
between fans, club and management. This study can be essential for football, as the potential for
online local football systems has yet to be fully realized and there are great opportunities for
growth in football management systems.

7
1.4. Purpose of the study

As previously stated, the purpose of the study is to reduce the old ways of using paper to carry
out and correct data for the team and members, while allowing the football Fans keep up to date
with the news, results, match line up and team information of their chose at any time or place
without them moving from province to province or waiting for a newspaper report. With the new
system, players, coaches and management can interact with each other using their smart devices,
which could be Phones, computer and tablets. This research is means of reducing work overload
by breaking it down to individual work. A very good example of work breakdown is where the
coach moves from person to person just for the correction of information. But with the system in
place each individual is to update his/her team data. Users and fans will find it easy to check on
the information needed like their best team, which team is topping the chart at that moment and
information about their teams, players and which ground the match will take place.

1.4.1. Coach - team registration

Paper registration requires one to download the form and print it or pick up a copy from the
event office, fill it out, then either pay postage to mail it back or move with a car to drop it off.
With online entry, it is a fast and seamless experience for a participant linking to the form from
your official event website. The online registration form can have the same look and feel as your
site so that the registrant feels like he has never left the website. An online registrant can quickly
fill out a simple online form that has been custom tailored to only collect the information
required of a person entering their category and submit it to your database within minutes.

1.4.2. Fans Real-time reports

One of the complaints that most event organizers have is that they never know how many people
will be showing up to the event until the very last days of the registration period. Accepting
paper registration forms requires manual updates to attendee reports and especially in those last
days leading up to the event, the workload can be hard to keep up with! An online registration
system will offer you the ability to watch your registration data flow into the database in real-
time. This means you can get a more accurate count of expected participants and the supplies
needed to support them when they show up to the event.

8
1.4.3 Objectives

The main reasons for online football is to make things simple that were faced as challenge to
work breakdown and reduces the cost of moving from place to place and road toll gates
payments. With information that is right for your wants at the moment, the systems specific
objectives are out lined below.

 They Work 24/7

An online sports system works all the time. This gives freedom to potential visitors to check for
information anytime they want. It also maximises game sales because you are not limited to your
working hours.

 Cost effective

Football requires that fans to move from one place to another without putting to mind the
expenses of the movements and time needed, with troll gates been installed almost every after
two hours on a high the cost has even more shoot up. The online system gives options to those
are busy with work or any other reasons to keep track of the games play and its lineup.

 Using less paper save the environment

This may seem a bit trivial, but with the growing trend of people altering their daily lives to
reduce their personal impact on the environment, more and more event organizers are also doing
their part in the world and in the process finding that "Going Green" and eliminating their paper
entry forms is appealing to the athlete community, like what has been done to plastic.
Developing an environmental impact statement and branding your event as a "Green Event" is
not only good for the environment but may prove valuable to your marketing campaign and the
world at large.

 Cut Your Workload

Online systems reduce workloads for your staff and optimize customer service. These platforms
can make sure that work is simple and broken down in small parts for easy management of work.

9
  Fast response and flow of communication via Email

An online sports registration system not only emails receipts and registration confirmations, it
can also be used by your fans to email their admin with schedules, updates, notices, etc. You no
longer have to worry about one parent not being in the loop. The email system also makes it
easier for your administration team to keep in touch with all your coaches and send rosters,
season schedules.

Others reasons are as follows;

 Interact with the club’s database online through a friendly user interface given through
the system.
 Manage the player’s background and information on the site at any time.
 Create teams or update existing information in the system.
 Schedule teams matches and game time.
 Updating data the most easily way possible through the use of the internet.
 The user will be able to view information of his/her best team or players.
 The user will be able to track down their player’s movements.

10
1.5 . Proposed system

In this project, the solution delivered will allow to:

 Interact with the club’s database online through a friendly user interface given through
the system.
 Allow Fans access the web via phones or computers in the comfort of the home or office
anytime.
 Manage the player’s background and information on the site.
 Manage the users who will access the intranet.
 Give access to team leaders to update their information on the site as to keep fans posted
on their best team news.
 Manage the season teams and categories.
 Create teams or update existing information in the system.
 Schedule teams matches and game time.
 Updating data the most easily way possible through the use of the internet.
 The user will be able to track down their player’s movements.
 The user will be able to read highlights of the games played.
 The user will be able to view information of his/her best team or players.
 The coach will be able to post the players assistance and give immediate feedback to the
families if needed.

1.5.1. Conclusion

In conclusion, with more and more people visiting the internet for information about games
update, the football management system will gain more fans while reducing the cost of watching
the game live. People are becoming increasingly comfortable with online feedback and event
organizers have much to gain from new online technologies that can streamline their workload.

1.6. Definition of (unfamiliar) terms

 FMS

Football management system

 Xampp

Xampp is a free and open source cross platform web server solution stack package, this is used to
host a server o local host on personal computer by using Apache to allow public access to the
website directory through both HTTP and HTTPS protocol.

 Notepad++

This is an application that was used for code development, notepad++ is a text editor that provide
support to many programming languages, including the ones used in this project.

 HTML

The client side part of the project has been developed, as most websites, using HTML, CSS.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard language used to build a webpage. It
specifies the content of the website but not its functionality. In the browsers, HTML tags are not
displayed but are used to render the content of the page.

 CSS

Cascading Style Sheets is the language used to describe how the elements defined in the HTML
code are rendered on the screen, allowing modifying the properties that define their appearance
such as positioning, height, weight, background, borders.

 Backend

The server side programming of the project has been fully developed using PHP. PHP
(Hypertext Preprocessor) is a programming language very popular in the development of web
pages that can be combined with HTML. The code it is executed on the server, it has a wide
range of compatibilities with the different OS and web servers and can be used as a module or a
CGI processor.

12
  Database

In the lowest layer of the project, the technology that is found is MySQL. MySQL is a database
server with a double license, one of them is under Oracle Corporation, and the other places
MySQL as an open source product under the terms of the GNU GPL, which is the one used in
this project. MySQL has different storage engines, but the one used and this project also has
become the default storage engine in MySQL.

1.7 Scope of study

The scope for this system is to build a solution in form of an intranet that will fulfill the first set
of objectives mentioned in order to, from the role of an administrator, perform effectively the
club management tasks. Generally, this case will happen in Zambian local teams, where the staff
is formed by volunteers, with that said the resources are very limited and are rather determined to
improve the sportive service that they are offering rather than improving their management
system backbone.

1.9. Significance of the Research/Project

A very well designed football management system with fully functioning website is an
increasingly vital life style in the day to day running of any team or club. The system will act as
the primary home of our club's through the use of internet, providing news, collecting
membership fees, and acting as a platform for communicating with fellow club members while
keeping the Fans up to date with the feeds.

The football management system website can bring a great number of benefits to your club,
some of which you may not have considered before.

• Making a good first impression.

With the digital age, the website often acts as the first impression to people discovering online
football or just your club/ team for the first time. If a person wishes to find out more about your

13
team, 99 percent chances are that one will head straight online and search for your website
regarding the team or football news.

• Sign-up new teams or underground teams.

With a football management system that stands out from the crowd, the club membership
increase faster. A very well-designed site shows professionalism, ultimately and organization
with the feeling that your club is a great place to come and play some sport. Putting in mind that
your website is likely to be the first place potential new members will go. You have to impress
them with a bold design and they’ll soon want to be a part of your club.

• Increase traffic for online fans.

For all the existing members, followers and opponents, the football management system website
is the place they go for the latest match reports, fixtures, news and statistics. A system with very
exciting design filled with great content stands much more chance of increasing the visitors to
the site, and keeps them coming back for more and more news and post.

CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK

2.0 Overview

Teamer (www.teamer.net) is a free to use sports team management service that gives you
information on sports. Teamer is a service to manage player information of the team. The service
enables easy and e-client communication to all members. Relevant documents can be uploaded
and shared using teamer. Teamer allows teams to collect payments from the members. The only
cost is 2.4% + 20 per transaction. After creating an account, the administrator can create multiple
teams, but there are no links between the teams. The team page is not visible to public, only
members can view the team page after login.

League Republic (www.leaguerepublic.com) provides league and club management services.

The League Republic website can be used to host leagues and clubs. League Republic clubs can
be signed up to the leagues. In this system only the club management is considered as there is no
need for league management. There are no limits for teams and players that can be included in
the club. Hosting and storage are provided for free and there are no storage limits. The services
responsive design enables access with any device. After logging in the administrator can create
teams, players, matches and match reports. For each match the score can be set, but the statistics
cannot be assigned to individual players.

Zambian football league table result and statistics: (league321.com) is one of the Systems that
are similar to the football management system. Zambian football and soccer sources including
current and historic league tables, national cup results, club and player history. The main focus of
this system is to manage the results of the league and the statistics display of the league. The
menu of the system shows a good list of links, which include the historic league table, current
league table, betting and stats, general summary and Zambian football.

 Zambian football: this display the board that govern football in Zambia (FAZ), when it
was found, location. Basically it gives insight of Zambia and football.
 Current league table: like the name itself, the current league table displays the league
table which has names of teams with their points, goals and position in the league.

15
  Historic league table: this shows the history of all local teams that have won a cups and
which year that was, records on the site show that in 1962, Roan united won a cup then
Mufulira Wanderers in 1964. Records show all the way to 2018 and teams that that got
their league cups.

Zambian eye: (Zambianeye.com) this is an online system that has the history of the Zambian
football and is mainly focused on the business side of football, like lodging and food when fans
are watching the games and places for them to rest in the case where matches end at a late hour.
The site has most of the updates on the local league with images of the winning teams of the
league.

Knowledge management system in sport is a system that shows all matches after been played by
the term and the results of the games, fans and members follow up if they by any chance missed
the live game. The system allows fans to visit anytime for updates and useful information about
football.

2.1 Literature Review

2.1.1. Introduction

According to (Lusakatimes, January 27, 2016), “Phone users jump from 2.6 million to 10.9
million in 8 years. Zambia’s mobile phone users jump from 2.6 million to 10.9 million in 8
years”. Zambia has recorded significant increase in the number of mobile phone subscribers from
2.6 million in 2007 to 10.9 million in 2015 due to increased investment in the sub-sector by
mobile service providers.
Similarly, the increase in subscriber base corresponds to an improvement in service penetration
relative to the population from 22.5 percent in 2007 to 70.3 percent in 2015, in a country with
over 14 million people. Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority
(ZICTA) director for market competition and licences Mulenga Chisanga said this in Lusaka
recently when he appeared before the parliamentary committee on communications, transport,
works and supply. The committee was discussing the role of information communication
technologies (ICTs) in national development. “The effectiveness of the ICT policy in increasing
access to ICTs in Zambia has been mixed. There has been significant market improvement in

16
access to mobile phone service,” Mr. Chisanga said. He said the global system for mobile
communications (GSM) coverage, which is currently at over 80 percent of the country’s surface
area, is expected to reach 100 percent in the next few years. Mr. Chisanga attributed the increase
to the rise in investments into the network by all the mobile network operators and a regulatory
program to extend GSM infrastructure to the underserved and unserved.

He also said the number of internet users increased from 2.3 million in 2012 to five million in
2015 with majority users being through mobile cellular networks, who account for 99 percent.
This increase represents a 32.2 percent rise in 2015 compared to 17.3 percent in 2012.

2.1.2. BROOKEHUNDLEY

According to (brookehundley.com). When most people think of football they think of a multi-
billion-dollar business with legions of fans worldwide, which is arguably the single most
influential sport on the planet. According to studies from 1993, 1996 and 1999, as well as the
Encyclopaedia Britannica, football is played by 250 million people in more than 200 nations
across the world. And while football is indeed the most popular sport, but in relative terms the
beautiful game has often struggled to monetise its fans. In a world pre-social media, clubs such
as Manchester United, Manchester City could happily boast having 659 million fans worldwide,
but when a huge proportion of them is based overseas, having never watched a live game, let
alone visited the club’s home grounds of Old Trafford, these massive numbers used to mean very
little. Not anymore.

2.1.3. THE RISE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN SPORT

According to (Felix, R. Rauschnabel: strategic Social Media Marketing, p: 118 -126) Social
media has changed this phenomenon dramatically. In 2014, Facebook executive Glenn Miller
stated that “of the 1.3 billion-plus people on Facebook, 500 million are hardcore football fans,”
so it’s no wonder clubs are now able to capitalize on the huge amount of engagement they
receive from fans.

But internet plays a much bigger role than just a commercial one in the world of football at all
levels. The internet has allowed clubs to break news such as the signing of new players with a
simple click of a button, not to mention giving fans the ability to connect with clubs, players and

17
coaches on a personal level in real time. The football management system has made way for
younger fans to engage with their favorite clubs and players in a much more meaningful way,
and with over 82 per cent of 16-24 years olds engaging in some form of social media at least
once a week, this gives clubs the ability to foster real loyalty amongst these young fans.

Steve jobs:

(New York Times, 12 June, 2005). In the interview, Jobs insists that one day, "computers will be
essential in most homes". Jobs foresaw a nationwide communications network that would allow
people to tap into an incredible wealth of information. Use of the burgeoning internet in 1985
was still limited largely to university researchers and military personnel. But notice that he says
nationwide, rather than worldwide. Perhaps, because worldwide would've sounded too sci-fi,
even as a worldwide network was emerging behind the scenes.

In the future, it won't be an act of faith. The hard part of what we're up against now is that people
ask you about specifics and you can't tell them. A hundred years ago, if somebody had asked
Alexander Graham Bell, "What are you going to be able to do with a telephone?" he wouldn't
have been able to tell him the ways the telephone would affect the world. He didn't know that
people would use the telephone to call up and find out what movies were playing that night or to
order some groceries or call a relative on the other side of the globe. But remember that first the
public telegraph was inaugurated, in 1844. It was an amazing breakthrough in communications.
You could actually send messages from New York to San Francisco in an afternoon. People
talked about putting a telegraph on every desk in America to improve productivity. But it
wouldn't have worked. It required that people learn this whole sequence of strange incantations,
Morse code, dots and dashes, to use the telegraph. It took about 40 hours to learn. The majority
of people would never learn how to use it. So, fortunately, in the 1870s, Bell filed the patents for
the telephone. It performed basically the same function as the telegraph, but people already knew
how to use it. Also, the neatest thing about it was that besides allowing you to communicate with
just words, it allowed you to sing.

2.1.4. TECHNOLOGY IN SPORT (WWW.BBC/SPORTS.COM)

According to BBC sport (www.bbc/sport, 12 May, 2017). Technology affects many aspects of
sport from performance on and off the field to spectating and public profile. Increasingly,

18
advances in technology influence grass roots as well as elite sport. The following tables help to
explain the facts in line with implementation the football management system and records form
the BBC sport show benefits of such a system and disadvantage of the system.

 For athletes

Better performance – marginal gains make the Invades privacy

Better medical care results in fewer injuries or
faster recovery from injury
Feedback from coaches is more focused,

19
  For spectators

More engaged in the sport Detracts from actual play

More informed about rules, players etc. Reduces the atmosphere at live events
Have a direct link to athletes Reduces interest in grass roots events that
aren't supported by technology
Increases spectator/broadcaster costs Enables trolls to attack individual athletes

 For sport generally

Promotes new and alternative opportunities
Supports less-wealthy sports to promote
themselves
Leads to more coverage and revenue
Reduces emotional wellbeing that comes from
escaping digital pressures/routines
Increases costs to sports and participants
Sponsors more interested in technology than
sport or athletes

 Impact of technology on coaches

A coach will need to have access to high end technology in order to help their sports people to
train and perform at their highest level possible. This means coaches will need to stay up to date
with current technology and be able to afford the required equipment need for the system itself.

2.1.5. GAME AND CULTURE

According to Game and Culture (Jason G. Reitman, 16 April, 2019). As E-sports gain popularity,
and in some cases surpass the viewership of traditional sports (Lynch, 2017), they create
opportunities for studying people and systems on a massive scale.

20
2.1.6. E-SPORTS WITHIN THE DISCIPLINES

The fields discussed in this section each approach E-sports as extensions of existing theory or
phenomena of interest that offer new contexts to explore familiar themes. As academia has
become more familiar with E-sports, continuing work has shifted focus away from translating
and explaining E-sports to an unfamiliar academic audience and towards understanding
behaviors, cognitive patterns, and social interactions during and around play.

2.1.7. BUSINESS

Business (Zang, Wu, & Li, 2007). The business literature dates the birth of E-sports back to the
rise of the competitive scene of early 1980’s arcades (Borowy & Jin, 2013). Its growth is
attributed to the value of the experience economy for consumers. The identification of these
factors has helped in exploring motivations for E-sports consumption, understanding the
networks and organizations surrounding the players, and designing effective marketing
techniques (Hamari & Sjöblom, 2016; Lee & Schoenstedt, 2011; Weiss, 2011; Seo & Sang-Uk,
2014). This research is most often done in a naturalistic setting using surveys, interviews, and
case studies. For example, Hamari and Sjöblom (2016) apply the Motivation Scale for Sports
Consumption (MSSC) to measure motivation for E-sports consumption. MSSC has been used to
measure motivation for traditional media and sports generally, so their results in a new context
can be compared to previous work in more widely studied areas (Hamari & Sjöblom, 2016).

2.1.8. SPORTS SCIENCE

Sports science (Hemphill, 2005; Mora & Héas, 2005), A group of sports science researchers
interested in the implications of competitive gaming are categorizing E-sports within the frame
of traditional sports. Most publications from sports science are agenda setting by using the
standard of traditional sports, they are evaluating the potential of E-sports to be considered
sports. Early discussion around cybersport (Hemphill,2005). As work reconciling E-sports with
traditional sports continued, Jonasson and Jesper (2010) inserted E-sports in Guttmann’s model
of modern sports (Guttmann, 2004). This discussion continues in sports science, as illustrated by
Hallman and Giel’s (2018) summary of previous work providing the following criteria for E-
sports to be categorized as sports: physical activity, recreation, competitive elements,

21
organizational structure, and social acceptance of E-sports Empirical studies of E-sports in sports
science are mostly case studies utilizing qualitative methods. Rambusch et al. (2007).

2.1.9. MEDIA STUDIES

media studies (Hutchins, 2008; Wagner, 2006; Weiss, 2008), Research in media studies has
focused on relationships between E-sports, sports, and media; the definition and delimitation of
E-sports; the methodologies used to study E-sports; and the practice of live streaming gameplay.
Themes such as the roles of physical exertion, spectatorship, historical precedence, and
interaction are analyzed in an effort to classify E-sports. In these analyses. The existence of E-
sports across digital and physical spaces is possible, according to Hutchins (2008), because of
media, communication, and information flow. T.L. Taylor (2012) also points out that “E-sports
have encoded in its very nature a deep rooting in both technology and media” (Taylor, T.L.,
2012).

Media studies researchers examine the E-sports community through the phenomenon of live
streaming in the interest of exploring how the community is formed and how it interacts with
streamers (e.g. Kaytoue et al., 2012; Hamilton, Oliver, & Andruid, 2014; Burroughs & Rama,
2015; Devia-Allen, 2017). Based primarily on qualitative data such as interviews, observations,
and content analysis, these descriptive papers examine the experience of being in various roles in
the E-sports ecosystem. Before 2012, research took place around events celebrated in physical
spaces, like the World Cyber Games (e.g. Hutchins, 2008). For example, Cheung & Huang
(2011) created a taxonomy of spectators and described spectatorship not as simply watching the
game, but as actively engaging with the community. The spectators described here are watching
either from a physical venue or on dedicated video-sharing channels. Since then, technological
advances, specifically live streaming and platforms like Twitch, generated a new media
phenomenon which has been the primary focus of research for the last several years (Kaytoue et
al., 2012; Burroughs & Rama, 2015). The merged space between the in-person and online worlds
has become a focus of the field, as seen in T.L. Taylor’s (2012), Whalen’s (2013), and
Burroughs and Rama’s (2015) works discussing the distinctions and lack thereof between what is
virtual and what is real in the context of streaming.

22
2.1.10. Conclusion

In conclusion there is no denying that online media for a long time has had a monumental impact
on the way we live our lives today. Not only are we subjected to a continual stream of update,
news and information from people around the world as it happens, but channels like Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram provide us with an insight into the lives of some of the planet’s most
famous and influential people, to which it seemed impossible less than a decade ago. The FMS
will give us all this but based on football as the main objectives.

CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY AND RESEARCH DESIGN
There is a growing demand on football activities in Zambia. The football activities are
increasingly reflected both in local and international games. As described in following text, the
continuous concentration of the competitive environment in the area of Internet based services
forces the organizations to innovate their approaches in order to increase their fan base. This
paper describes a way of solving this issue, building on an earlier paper (Vojir, Smutny, 2014).
In their previous work, the authors focused on the design and implementation of a web-based
knowledge system. The system would be suitable for the saving and management of descriptions
of users’ interactions in a service environment on Internet. This paper focuses on the very
concept of utilizing users’ interactions to support the management of online football activities.

This development of the football management system project has followed a traditional
sequential methodology because the following reasons.

 Limited capacity. This project is a one-man development. Therefore, time has only
been nothing but a measure to finishing the project in time.
 Timing irregularities. Although this project has been developed for about 6 months,
during the development of the project I have been working a part time job and this
has been determining in when I could get to work into the project.

3.1.1. PRINCIPLES OF THE METHODOLOGY

The fundamental innovation for the solution lies in the continuous evaluation of interactions and
the subsequent optimization using evolutionary computation and reallocation of funds towards
individual nodes (marketing channels). The planned methodology takes into account what was
mentioned above and it stands on the following pillars:

 Using the properties of complex networks, which are reflected in the Internet both on the
level of hardware and software and the consequences to the environment of services on
the Internet.
 The capture and use of interactions in this environment at the level of subjects (human,
softbot) and their impact on marketing activities in this environment.

24
  The use of online systems approaches for a continuous evaluation of the profitability of
football marketing activities in this environment. In our case it is the use of evolutionary
computing techniques for optimizing the use of each service.

3.1.2. METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION

There are a number of approaches to data collection depending on the nature of the research
being conducted. In this project, the methods adopted in this project include World Wide Web,
Interview and references to published and unpublished collection. The data collected for this
research can be broadly classified into two types, namely: the primary and secondary data.

 PRIMARY DATA

Primary data is collected directly from respondent relevant to the subject under investigation.
The primary data used in this case is interview method according to Enr. D. O Dimoji (2009),
says that primary source data collection is source from first-hand information can be obtained.
Primary data source is an original data source, that is, one in which the data are collected
firsthand by the researcher for a specific research purpose or project. Primary data can be
collected in a number of ways. However, the most common techniques are self-administered
surveys, interviews, field observation, and experiments. Primary data collection is quite
expensive and time consuming compared to secondary data collection. Notwithstanding, primary
data collection may be the only suitable method for some types of research. The tools used in
gathering the primary source of data collection include interview, observation and questionnaire,
for example.

How do you think a football management system can help?

How can Fans, coach and management communicate to each other any time?

How can one update their information about football without having visited the stadium?

 SECONDARY SOURCES

These are sources of data collection in which primary data is already being obtained, information
that is already in printed form is sources of secondary data which include textbooks, magazines,
journals, newspapers, websites etc. The secondary data are readily available from the other

25
sources and as such, there are no specific collection methods. The researcher can obtain data
from the sources both internal and external to the organization.

The secondary data can be both qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data can be obtained
through newspapers, diaries, interviews, transcripts, etc., while the quantitative data can be
obtained through a survey, financial statements and statistics. This document is based on the
qualitative data, most of the work is obtained through newspapers, websites, books and
interviews.

One of the advantages of the secondary data is that it is easily available and hence less time is
required to gather all the relevant information need for the project. Also, it is less expensive than
the primary data. But however the data might not be specific to the researcher’s needs and at the
same time is incomplete to reach a conclusion. Also, the authenticity of the research results
might be skeptical most times.

3.1.3. DESIGN METHODOLOGY

With the FMS project, I decided to use object–oriented methodology because of the following
reasons:

 Unaffected to change.
 Easier maintenance.
 Its flexibility: OOPs are really flexible in terms of using implementations.
 Ease of modification and extensibility of object-oriented models.
 Ease of understanding object-oriented models due to a consistent underlying presentation
throughout the development process.
 Ease of reuse of object components from previously designed systems.

 3.1.4. SYSTEM DESIGN

USER CASE DIAGRAM

A use case diagram is a representation of a user's interaction with the system and it shows the
relationship between the user and the different use cases in which the user is involved. This can
be used to identify the different types of users of a system and the different use cases.

3.1.5. THE WATERFALL MODEL

The waterfall model is a sequential design process, often used in software development
processes. It takes the fundamental process activities of specification, development,
validation, and evolution and represents them as separate process phases such as
requirements specification, software design, implementation, testing.

CHAPTER FOUR: TESTING
4.1. INTRODUCTION

Testing is a process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding the software
bugs. It can also be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software program
meets the business requirements. There are many types of testing that a system may be subjected
to, however only the ones in the testing objectives will be carried out for this system.

4.2. SCOPE

The overall purpose of testing is to ensure the Football Management System meets all of its
functional and business requirements. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the overall test
plan and strategy for testing the system.

4.3. TESTING GOALS

The main goals of testing this system include the following:

 validating the quality

 usability
 reliability
 performance of the application.

Testing will be performed from a black-box approach. Tests will be designed around
requirements and functionality.

4.4. TEST PLANS AND REPORTS

The Test Plan is derived from the Requirements, Functional Specifications, and detailed Design
Specifications. The Test Plan identifies the details of the tests, identifying the associated test case
areas within the product.

CHAPTER FIVE: IMPLEMENTATION
Ultimately, for this project the best way to improve the implementation success is to have a solid
plan. Developing the implementation plan should break down the most important phases suitable
for the project at hand. Which are as follows:

5.1. PHASE 1: CONFIRM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.

Confirm system requirements is the first part of this implementation process, which looks at the
hardware and software, mostly with where the software can run and where the software is unable
to run. It is important to check that the system built is satisfies all of its user.

5.2. PHASE 2: DEVELOPMENT OF ANY ENHANCEMENTS

Enhancement is the process where new or missing capabilities are added to the system for
improvement.

5.3. PHASE 3: PILOT TESTING OF MAJOR FEATURES

This is the third phase of implementation that pulls out the major features of the product after
enhancement and then test for errors, if any, comment and clear them. Any other issues with the
product are to be find and fixed here.

5.4. PHASE 4: SOFTWARE ROLL OUT AND FOLLOW UP MONITORING.

The fourth is the final part in this project implementation, that deals with the improving
operations, boost efficiency and enable the software to stand out.

40
CHAPTER SIX:
6.1. CONCLUSIONS

As the structure of football changes with the growth of the Web, the roles of football,
communication and sponsorship will change. It can be predicted that football will consistently
provide the largest live audiences, whether through TV screens, PC screens or phones, and that it
will therefore become even more attractive as more and more people will find it easy to access
football through the use of their devices.

Other programmes may be downloaded later, or viewed on demand like advertising messages,
but the enjoyment of football is inextricably linked with being there, seeing it happen and sharing
in the unpredictability of live website. The drama that football continually provides, from
moments of great skill to wonderful goals to great saves to nail-biting penalty shoot-outs, makes
football distinct from all other large scale audience deliverers such as soaps or film premiers.

The Football Association therefore can provide sponsors not only with mass market delivery, but
also emotional commitment. As sponsors' investment in the game becomes more widely
recognised, so the value and effectiveness of their investment increases. The revenue from
sponsors enables The Football Association to pursue its vision of using football as a power for
good and hopefully, in time, developing excellence throughout the game and a national team that
will be the envy of the world again.
