The book explores how football fandom as a leisure and lifeworld activity can contribute to strengthening identification with and social cohesion in Europe. Based on the three-year research project FANZinE (Football as the basis for social cohesion in Europe), financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the book allows readers to understand the intersection and causal interaction between football fandom, European identities, and social cohesion in Europe, using four European countries Germany, Norway, Poland, and Spain.
