Introduction: Football as a source of cultural belonging and transformations in the Middle East and North Africa
This special issue is the result of a project that started in 2021 on football culture and religion in the Middle East.1 In 2024, we made a call for papers on the role of football as a force for cu
Nordic football: Local and global impact, influences and images
Nordic national football stadiums: Past and present
National sports stadiums are often deeply affected by the politics of identity and mythology. Questions of ‘nationality’ and the responsibility of safeguarding the idea of a specific ‘national’ sports culture often take a central position in the rhetoric surrounding national sports stadiums. This also has an impact on how they are designed, developed and operated. In this paper, we explore the legacy of Nordic national football stadiums. Our main…
Reusing Stadiums for a Greener Future: The Circular Design Potential of Football Architecture
Since the turn of the new Millennium, there has been an increase in efforts to build environmental-friendly sports arenas around the world. Fuelled by large sporting events like the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the 'Green Games,' and the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, stadium architecture has become a vehicle for this trend. So far, the emphasis has primarily been on new arenas, in line with the widespread belief in international architecture of the 20…

Rimi Bowl' and the Quest for Authenticity: Fan Autonomy and Commodification in Norwegian Football
Football in Norway is facing similar challenges as other European leagues regarding dwindling crowds and financial instability, in the wake of the neoliberal boom from the 1990s and well into the new millennium. The years between 1990 and 2008 saw a doubling of average crowds for top-level games. Yet since 2008, there has been a steady decline, even for the biggest clubs. Clubs and the Norwegian Football Association (FA). respond differently to t…
Split loyalties: Football is a community business
This chapter discusses changes and continuities in football support, drawing primarily on studies in Norway and Britain. Examples of resistance to hypercommodification are analysed in relation to the game’s growing appeal as a source of social capital, delving into how this has affected the sociality of supporter communities. While football fan culture is intertwined with the current commodification of the game, this can by no means be seen as a …
Transglobal Scandinavian? Globalization and the contestation of identities in football
This essay delves into the complex intertwining of globalization and identity by analysing how the increasingly transnational nature of club football changes people's passions. A key finding from research among Norwegian supporters challenges the notion that passionate identities and loyalties are predominantly structured around the national imperative 'for club and country'. The English Premier League has in recent years colonized the 'footballi…
Transnational Passions: A Statistical Study of Norwegian Football Supporters
This essay is based on the central findings from a survey conducted among members of Norwegian supporter clubs for English football clubs in 2000. The Norwegian case of long distance support of English teams is probably the biggest and best organized of the transnational love affairs. Norwegian football fans' anglophile liaisons form part of a personal football geography and history in which supporters have developed passionate relationships to f…
"We're Not From Norway": Football and Civic Pride in Bergen, Norway
The core meaning of individual and group identities is established by sameness over time and space, sustained by ceremony and ritual. This article illustrates the complex relationship between identities, rituals, and memory by focusing on annual public spectacles in the Norwegian city of Bergen, manifestations of youthful rite de passage, expressions of local and national patriotism, and a variety of practices bound up with support for the city's…
