The objectives of the study were to find out the fan followership of European football clubs by Nigerian football fans; to find out the extent to which Nigerian youths watch televised European football matches; to ascertain the effects of televised European football matches on Nigerian youths, and to determine the effect of televised European football matches on Nigerian football. The research method adopted for this study is the participatory observation research method. The researcher visited viewing centers and betting shops to observe the reactions of football fans during live matches and betting sessions. The researcher found out that televised European football matches have greatly influenced Nigerian football through observations. This is evident as Nigerian fans now support clubs in Europe more than Nigerian clubs.
