Soccer, a.k.a (association) football is the most popular mass spectator sport in the world. Soccer & Society is the first international journal devoted to the game of soccer, and aims to focus on the game in the context of a more global world. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Beyond the game: Panathinaikos’ fandom and the political arena by Angeliki- Sofia Bakali & Torbjörn Andersson.

FC Barcelona: History, Politics and Identity, edited by Jim O'Brien, Xavier Ginesta and Jordi de San Eugenio (Routledge) is the first critical, in-depth academic study of FC Barcelona (also known as Barça), one of the world’s great football clubs, exploring the historical, political, cultural and commercial dimensions of this global sporting institution. Jan Andre Lee Ludvigsen is our appreciative reviewer, and he lauds the idiographic approach. His only complaint is the missing chapter on El Clásico.
