Fan satisfaction is attributed or manifested by emotional physical acts and, reinforcing the support to the national team through different means. More importantly, the major reasons of failure of the EMNFT to satisfy fans are team performance, goal and championing for international game; individual performance technical competency; coaches and sport federation`s leadership problem; stadium attractiveness and services in and around the stadium; the limited activities of the stakeholders especially the teams and the EFF to recruit substituent players from sport academies and ethical problems of the individual athletes. The unethical behaving of the athletes during the local and international game is also considered ones of as the factor to limit fan satisfaction and progress of the EMNFT in its success.
