Association football is now the global sport, consumed in various
ways by millions of people across the world. Throughout its
history, football has been a catalyst as much for social cohesion,
unity, excitement and integration as it can be for division,
exclusion and discrimination. A Sociology of Football in a Global
Context examines the historical, political, economic, social and
cultural complexities of the game across Europe, Africa, Asia and
North and South America. It analyses the key developments and
sociological debates within football through a topic-based approach
that concentrates on the history of football and its global
diffusion; the role of violence; the global governance of the game
by FIFA; race, racism and whiteness; gender and homophobia; the
changing nature of fans; the media and football's financial
revolution; the transformation of players into global celebrities;
and the growth of football leagues across the world. Using a range
of examples from all over the world, each chapter highlights the
different social and cultural changes football has seen, most
notably since the 1990s, when its relationship with the mass media
and other transnational networks became more important and
financially lucrative.
