Football, Nationality and the State examines the complex and ever-changing relationship between football (its development and structure), nationality and the state.

This book examines the construction of national, regional, and group identities in the football journalism of five European countries: England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Shifting European identities, cultural loyalties and divisions are often expressed more directly through attitudes to 'the people's game' game than in any other arena. This book examines European football journalism from the early 20th century to present a unique cross-cultural analysis of changing European national and regional identities.
