Background of the Study
Football tourism, a niche segment of sports tourism, revolves around fans traveling to attend football matches, tournaments, and related events. Globally, football tourism has been recognized as a catalyst for economic growth, significantly contributing to the hospitality sector, including hotels, restaurants, and transportation services. In Nigeria, Kano State is one of the leading hubs for football, hosting major local and international matches, including competitions at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
The passion for football in Kano State is deeply rooted in its culture, and the influx of football enthusiasts creates opportunities for businesses in the hospitality industry. However, the extent to which football tourism drives growth in this sector remains under-researched. This study explores the impact of football tourism on hospitality businesses in Kano State, evaluating its contributions to revenue generation, job creation, and service innovation.
