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 ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fans: exploring the mechanisms enabling football fans’ position as a stakeholder in the management of circulations by Jan Andre Lee Ludvigsen (open access).

Focussing on supporter activism and cooperation, Christian Brandt, Fabian Hertel and Sean Huddleston have gathered contributions for their edited volume Football Fans, Rivalry and Cooperation (Routledge). It represents a refreshing approach to the phenomenon of football fandom, according to Lise Joern, and a welcome addition to the literature in this field.
