In this new theorisation of global football culture, Steve Redhead explores the relationship between sport and culture in a rapidly shifting world. Drawing on cutting-edge concepts, from accelerated culture and claustropolitanism to non-postmodernity, he reflects on the demise of working class football cultures and the rapid media globalisation of 'the people's game'. The book includes international empirical research, examining themes such as the relationship between music and football, hooligans and ultras, and the rise of social media and anti-modern football movements. It offers a new way of thinking about sporting cultures that expands the boundaries of physical cultural studies.
