Soccer has increasingly become a political tool worldwide, reflecting and influencing ideologies, identities, and movements despite claims of being apolitical by bodies like FIFA. Historic and recent examples, such as fascist propaganda in the 1930s and the LGBTQ+ protests during the 2022 World Cup, highlight its political impact. The sport also fuels cultural production, inspiring media, music, and artistic works that engage with its socio-political dimensions. However, the intersection between soccer's political influence and its representation in arts and media remains unexplored, prompting a closer examination of this dynamic. Global Perspectives on Soccer and the Media and Entertainment Industry provides different perspectives on the interactions between political soccer and global media and entertainment industries. These perspectives are historical, religious, socio-cultural, and political, among others. Covering topics such as international politics, social media, and visually impaired players, this book is an excellent resource for media practitioners, policymakers, international relations experts, politicians, academicians, researchers, and more.
