ABSTRACT
Today's competition has become intense not only in business but also in sports. Football is considered one of the most popular sports in the world over the last few decades and highly influential to the global sports industry. In this paper we evaluated the performance of fifty football European teams who have played in the Europa League and/or Champions League in the 2014/15 season while considering their performance in their respective national leagues. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique was adopted for this evaluation. DEA is a nonparametric method in operations research used to measure the relative efficiency of comparable institutions and also used for benchmarking in operations management. The analyses revealed that most teams were efficient when considering their performance in both the domestic and international leagues, while a smaller portion of these teams were efficient at the international level only.
