  Abstract:  This study examined motivations among mini football players and additionally determined if future behaviour can be predicted by player’s motivations. One hundred and sixty one (N=161) football players participated in the study and filled an adjusted version of the Recreational Experience Scale (Manfredo et al., 1996). A principal component analysis of the motivation scale revealed five dimensions: a) Achievement (6 items), b) Escape from daily routine (6 items) c) Fitness (3 items), d) Excitement (3 items) and e) Self-expression (3 items). The regression analysis indicated that the escape and fitness dimensions offered the most significant and powerful contributions to the prediction of behavioural intentions. Statistical significant contributions were also offered by the Achievement and Excitement dimensions. These results are discussed in terms of profiling football players according to their motivations, developing marketing strategies for satisfying their expectations, and building customer loyalty.

Keywords: Mini football games, motivation, intention for future participation
