Ever since I was a child, soccer and science have been two of my favourite activities and interests, so by combining these two activities, I am able to work on the things I love to do. Soccer is one of the most popular and wealthiest sports in the world; therefore a lot of money has been put in to improve the sport. The influence of science and technology on the sport of soccer has been immense and can be seen in areas such as stadium construction, development of soccer boots, training routines, GPS tracking systems, and many more. The most clear-cut influence can be seen throughout the past decade where new rules and new hi-tech gadgets have been created. Football associations in many countries are trying to boost technology into the game, not only to improve the game itself, but also to improve media broadcasting throughout the world.
