Football Studies is going to Sydney and Melbourne.
I would love to meet and interview football researchers while in these two cities. DM me if you want to catch up or can recommend anyone!
Such a pleasure to participate in this special episode about football, remembrance and politics. A bit biased, but worthy of listening!
Yes, I was in Hamburg recently, with kids. But don't trust me -trust this man, his FC St Pauli #FCSP historian colleague Celina Albertz, and scholar & filmmaker Felipe Tobar, on a double episode: tinyurl.com/2y8etp93

Amazing support here @ClemsonUniv’s first-ever Paralympic soccer match.
Head Coach Felipe Tobar told me more than 300 people showed up to support, including the @clemsonlax team cheering on their manager Max Alberici.
Not surprisingly, the goalie earned the fan favorite award.
We made history this weekend with @CUParaSoccer.
We played the first-ever Paralympic Soccer Match in the history of @ClemsonUniv and college adaptive sports.

FC St. Pauli's decision to suspend its pre-match anthem after finding that the song's composer, lyricist, and performer had Nazi ties has revived important dilemmas for football clubs.

Our work has been highlighting these touristification processes in the EPL and the future scenario is not beautiful as it is our game.
This is absolutely bang on from @KieranMaguire
“Football clubs are now tourist attractions”
“Clubs are slowly trying to squeeze people out, reduce the number of ST holders, take away concessions for kids, make it more difficult if you’re a senior fan”

⚽ Why should football clubs invest in remembrance work?
I discussed this and other important questions about football & remembrance in the "Uniting Histories" conference organized by @MakesFootball at @ReinwardtAcad 🇳🇱.
Read the event's recap here: efdn.org/blog/news/uniting-h…
It was a pleasure to share my research on Football and Remembrance in this panel at the Uniting Histories conference organized at the Reinwardt Academie in Amsterdam. Also, it was great to learn more about organizations like the EFDN and their incredible work within European ⚽
#EFDN was invited last friday by NGO partner @farenet for "Uniting Histories," to explore the intersection of football heritage, social inclusion, and education. The Toolkit of the related 🇪🇺 project Football Makes History will be soon on our learning platform!
