    Introducción: La sociedad reclama a la ciencia aporte de soluciones que reviertan las inversiones en investigación. Objetivo: Analizar la relación existente entre el ranking de un indicador bibliométrico, producción científica del tópico "fútbol/soccer" y el ranking de un indicador de la influencia de los resultados de la investigación de este tópico en la sociedad, rankings de Fútbol. Resultados: Correlación directa y moderadamente significativa entre ranking de nº publicaciones WoS 2010 y ranking FIFA 2010 con un rs=0,520, p=0,000, y R2=0,238. Siendo positivo ABFR-Index=0,575 y moderadamente significativo. Conclusiones: Hay influencia directa de los resultados de la investigación en la sociedad en relación al tópico ¿fútbol/soccer¿; ABFR-Index será un referente para interpretar las relaciones e influencias entre mundo científico y sociedad.

    Introduction: Society asks for solutions to science to get return on investment in research. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the ranking of a bibliometric indicator, scientific production of "soccer" topic, and the ranking of an indicator of the influence of the results of research on this topic in society, soccer rankings. Results: Moderately significant direct correlation between ranking WoS publications 2010 and FIFA ranking 2010 with an rs =.520, p =.000, R2=.238. ABFR-Index =.575 remains positive and moderately significant. Conclusions: There is a direct influence on society of the results of research on the "soccer" topic. Therefore ABFR-Index will be in future a reference to interpret the relationship and influences between the scientific world and society.
