European National football came together in the summer of 2012 for
the 14th occasion. This book sets out to examine the enduring
social tensions between supporters and authorities, as well as
those between local, national and European identities, which formed
the backdrop to the 14th staging of the European National football
tournament, Euro2012. The context of the tournament was somewhat
unique from those staged in previous years, being jointly hosted
for the first time by two post-Communist nations still in the
process of social and economic transition. In this respect, the
decision to stage Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine bore its own
material and symbolic legacies shaping the tournament: the
unsettling of neo-liberal imaginings and emergent 'East-West' fears
about poor infrastructure, inefficiencies and corruption jostled
with moral panics about racism and fears surrounding the
potentially unfulfilled consumerist expectations of west European
supporters. The book seeks to explore the ideologies and practices
invoked by competing national sentiments and examine the social
tensions, ambiguities and social capital generating potentials
surrounding national, ethnic, European identity, with respect to
national football teams, supporters and supporter movements. This
book was published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.
