Abstract
This thesis aims to explore the relationship between geographical location and the performance of the Italian professional football teams. Building on existing work on agglomeration and football performance, and employing a panel dataset of twenty- three football teams across eleven seasons, this analysis investigates if football clubs located in the greatest Italian provinces have more chances to finish in the first seven places of the Serie A. The results indicate that teams in the largest provinces are more successful due to the ability to attract highly-valued foreign players and benefit from a big potential market to generate substantial income from sponsorship and television rights.
