Description

'Correia takes us around the world to examine how soccer has produced the kind of political energy that can change minds and even topple governments' Dave Zirin, Sports Editor, The Nation

'An essential read for soccer fans everywhere' Juliet Jacques, writer, filmmaker and journalist

'A fascinating journey through the game's history [as] a vehicle of change' Shaka Hislop, former player, anti-racist educator and broadcaster

Soccer is so much more than the billionaire owners and eye-watering signing fees that dominate the headlines. Look beyond the Premiership and the World Cup, the sublime brilliance of Messi and Mbappé, and you'll find a story unparalleled in the world of sport.

From England, France, and Germany to Palestine, South Africa, and Brazil, A People's History of Soccer reveals how the 'beautiful game' has been a powerful instrument of emancipation for workers, feminists, anti-colonialist activists, young people, and protesters worldwide.

Countering the clichés about soccer fans, Mickaël Correia dives into soccer countercultures born after the Second World War, from English hooligans to the ultras who played a central role in the 'Arab Spring.' With chapters on anti-fascism, the women's game, and the rise in community-owned clubs, Correia reminds us that soccer can be a powerful social and political force - as generous as it is subversive.

Mickaël Correia is a journalist at Mediapart. He is the author of several books focusing on social and ecological struggles and working-class culture.
