This special issue has a general ambition to present, compare and analyse the existence as well as the varieties and values of ‘outsiders’ and ‘underdogs’ in sports. Thus, in the history of sport we find athletes and teams as well as events and specific ‘sports’ that, in their actions or characters as ‘outsiders’ or ‘underdogs’, have for various reasons challenged the sports logics as well as the general normative structures, ideals and rationalities in sports regarding for instance performances, preconditions and lifestyles.

In order to consider the interaction of the local and global (e.g., economic, political and cultural), as well as possible paradoxes and tensions in the formation of small nation celebrity, we welcome submissions that probe celebrity in any small nations located in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and Oceania.
