FOOTBALL AND SUPPORTER ACTIVISM IN EUROPE GEBUNDEN

This book is the first to explore and compare football governance  fandom culture and supporter
engagement in Europe. With a specific focus on supporter activism and campaigning  the
collection provides a comparative study of several European countries. The authors argue that
supporters  despite being the pillar or the 'lifeblood' of their club  see their role in
football governance marginalised. The volume is unique in that it challenges the widely
accepted assumption that membership football clubs encourage the democratic participation of
supporters. Covering football fandom in both the traditional 'big five' leagues and non-'big
five' countries such as Portugal  Turkey  Croatia  Poland and Czech Republic  the volume will
be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines  including sociology 
history  sport management  sport governance and political science.
