Football Presidents: Towards a Typology of Political Cultures sheds light on an often-overlooked dimension of football culture: club presidents. This book explores the political cultures of club presidents across countries and contexts, offering fresh insights into the leaders behind the beautiful game.
Bringing together studies from a wide range of geographical, historical, and political contexts— from Italy to Turkey, from Brazil to Ecuador—this volume develops a typology of political cultures in football leadership. The contributions address central themes such as local power and football, populism, gender, capitalism, tradition, and innovation. By assembling a range of perspectives and case studies, this volume represents a first attempt to systematically address this underexplored dimension of the game.
This volume spans multiple disciplines including Sports Sociology, Political Science, Cultural Studies, Football History, Organizational Leadership, and Comparative Politics, making it valuable for interdisciplinary research and teaching. It is a vital resource for researchers, practitioners, and anyone seeking to comprehend the complex power dynamics behind the world''s most beloved sport.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.

This Handbook offers an analysis of the relation between football and politics, based on over 30 case studies covering five continents. It provides a detailed picture of this relation in a wide number of European, American, African, and Asian states, as well as a comparative assessment of football in a global perspective, thus combining the general and the local. It examines themes such as the political origins of football in the studied country, the historical club rivalries, the political aspects of football as a sports spectacle, and the contemporary issues linked to the political use of football. By following the same structure with each study, the volume allows for the comparison between largely investigated cases and cases that have seldom been addressed. The Handbook will be of use particularly to students and scholars in the fields of sport studies, political science and sociology, as well as cultural studies, anthropology and leisure studies.
