The spread of COVID-19 and the consequent pandemic since early 2020
have brought about unprecedented changes in all spheres of global
life, creating a new sense of (in)security with social distancing,
physical isolation, quarantine and lockdown becoming buzzwords to
combat the disease. As in all spheres of life, the first wave of
the pandemic posed serious challenges to the world of soccer, with
diverse and intriguing responses across the globe. This book
documents the early impressions and initial responses of various
stakeholders of the soccer world to the challenges of COVID-19 in
2020. It reveals how the process of confrontation, negotiation,
adjustment and overcoming against such challenges necessitated and
inspired novel responses and strong improvisations from soccer
bodies to players, referees to spectators, and journalists to
sponsors. This process has revealed abrupt as well as radical
changes in the organization, rules, spectatorship and telecast of
the game, thereby affecting the game's cultural dimensions,
commercial prospects and political implications. The volume points
out that the way soccer has adjusted to the 'new normal' standard
of the 'COVID Regime' has elicited newer meanings and nuanced
representations of the game. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal, Soccer
& Society.
