CASE STUDY

Major League Soccer (MLS)

The Challenge

The MLS, (Major League Soccer), is the men’s professional soccer league in the United States. At the time of this research, there were 26 soccer teams in the league across America ranging from New York to Los Angeles. The following MLS analysis is a comparative study to derive insights from social conversation surrounding top teams in the ascending league.

Our Approach

O.Y.E. performed a comparative study on five of the MLS’s most popular teams in the league: LA Galaxy, New York City FC, New York Red Bulls, Orlando City SC, and Seattle Sounders. This analysis was extrapolated from a sample of 38,951 conversations on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram of which 5,873 were from verified Hispanics.

RESULTS

Among many insights provided to soccer aficionados, it was found that Hispanic men dominated online conversation versus Hispanic women. Orlando City SC (23%) saw the most online mentions from Hispanic women among all five MLS teams analyzed. Regarding specific teams, the New York Red Bulls had the lowest volume of total mentions overall (both Hispanic and non-Hispanic), but interestingly had the highest Hispanic proportion (26%). On the contrary, Seattle Sounders FC had the most mentions overall, but had the lowest Hispanic proportion with only 7%.
