Israeli Football: Culture, Politics, and Identity focuses on the
diverse aspects of the evolution of Israeli football and the social
effects of these on-going processes. In the span of nine decades,
Israeli football has become a faithful representation of society
and its key developments. The organizational structure of the teams
and their ethnic composition, fans’ chants and behaviors in the
stands, gender-related issues, media involvement, and other issues
have reflected important societal trends and transformations.
Examples of such trends include a shift from political to private
ownership of football teams, a shift from Ashkenazi to Sephardi
dominance, increasing diversification of the national team — from
exclusive Jewish presence to a significant presence of Arab
players, including a non-Jewish captain of the national team, a
shift from local-based to global-based fandom. These changes,
reflecting major milestones in the evolution of Israeli football,
did not occur in a vacuum but rather were integrally related to
broader local and global trends. These effects may even have had a
reciprocal nature, where developments in the sport sphere also
affected the public sphere and prepared the ground for social
change. The chapters in this book were first published as a special
issue of the journal Israel Affairs.
