LEVERAGING ENGAGEMENT RESEARCH
Logics and Mindsets from the Havas / AILFANS.PASSIONS.BRANDS Global Football Study
Erin Reilly, research fellow: ereilly@usc.eduJake de Grazia, project manager: degrazia@usc.edu
1
THE LOGICS OF ENGAGEMENT
The Logics describe the various ways fans approach their objects of fanship and the goals that drive their fannish behaviors.
2
Because these Logics are motivated by internal factors and are marked by certain behaviors that all fans exhibit, we believe they can be applied not only to soccer but to other domains, including film, art, music, and politics, to name a few.
3
ENTERTAINMENT
enjoying the overall experience and atmosphere surrounding soccer
4
SOCIAL CONNECTION
participating in the soccer fandom in order to create or deepen relationships with other fans
5
PRIDE
reflecting one’s soccer fanship in outward appearance and public behavior
6
IDENTIFICATION
strongly associating oneself with teams, players, leagues, or the sport and defining oneself as a soccer fan
7
ADVOCACY
championing on behalf of teams or players and taking positions on issues within the soccer fandom
8
IMMERSION
losing oneself in soccer’s parallel universe by shifting one’s focus from “real life” and into the sport
9
MASTERY
interest in learning and understanding detailed information and stories about soccer
10
PLAY
virtual or real life participation in activities related to soccer
11
12
Logics act as lenses through which we can understand fans’ motivations and desires to engage with a specific type of content.
13
Fans are usually engaging through mixtures of the Logics, and common mixtures are recognizable as recurring fan mindsets.
14
While many fans resemble one of these fan mindsets most of the time, most fans shift from mindset to mindset, depending on
situational triggers
● What does the fan know?● How does the fan engage with
others?● Where is the fan?● When does the engagement
happen?● What is the mood of the
experience?

THE OBSERVERObservers are somewhat interested in football, but most of them don’t see the sport as an important part of their lives, at least not right now.
What I know about this year’s World Cup is that Brazil barely got its act together in time and that there’s political stuff going on that could rear its head during the tournament. - Mary, USA
From when I was little, even though I played soccer, I always thought of it as an Italian sport and a Brazilian sport, not an American sport. But I know now that I’ve watched some World Cup with fans that it’s a sport that I could get excited about. - Gail, USA
Countries with high percentages of Observers: UK, France
Defining Logics: Entertainment, Immersion

THE GUARDIANGuardians are loud, high-energy, high-emotion, fun-loving fans.
I’m a flaky fan—I went the past two years not being a fan at all—but when I decide to support a team, I go all the way. I put my heart into. I watched every single game of the World Cup. - Patricia, Colombia
After the match, I’ll use the phone to call friends or send messages, but never during the match. - Carlos, Chile
