This book explores football culture, organisation and development
in the five Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden
and Norway. These countries represent an important case study in
sport culture, policy and management, being shaped by unique
traditions in their civil society and in social welfare and public
policy. The first part of the book explores the development path of
football in each country, looking at how football arrived in
Scandinavia and how it has been transformed from a voluntary civic
activity into a professional sport while becoming closely attached
to the global football system. The second part highlights key
issues - including historical, contemporary and critical aspects -
across three themes: professionalisation and changing practices;
equality and gender; and supporters, audiences and culture. Written
by a team of authors with a blend of experience as academics and
practitioners in football, the book traces the contours of the
distinctive Nordic model that occupies a prominent position in the
global football system. Shining fascinating new light on the
relationship between football and wider society, this is invaluable
reading for students and researchers interested in football, sport
management, sport policy, or the history, culture or sociology of
sport and for anyone involved in the game.
