Football is the most popular sport on earth, and a near-universal
means of expressing collective identification. This book
investigates the uses made of football to create, shape and foster
national identities in Spain since the beginning of the twentieth
century. Its focus is on the manner in which football reporting has
been utilized to cultivate Spanish, Catalan and Basque national
myths and stereotypes in different historical circumstances.
Football and National Identities in Spain shows the changing and
artificial nature of myths and exposes the often dark vested
interests behind the propagation of national narratives through
soccer. This book analyses Spanish, British, French, German and
Italian media to tell the fascinating story of how the Spanish
national team went from perennial underachiever to one of the most
lauded in the history of the game and the profound implications
this transformation had for the national and international image of
Spain.
