Political interference in sport, though commonly associated with
Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union, has been
perceived as something alien to Britain, where both government and
sporting bodies have sought to present images respecting the
autonomy of sport. However, in the 20th century, the growing
politicization of sport in other countries encouraged British
governments to view sport as an instrument of policy suportive of
British interests in the wider world. Association football,
Britain's major sport, came to be seen as a means of projecting
favourable images of Britain as a great nation to a large and often
responsive overseas audience, given the country's status as the
masters of football espousing fair play and other postitive values.
