Item type:Publication, Boom and bust of euphoric narratives: Peruvian football and the neoliberal mentality(Taylor & Francis, 2021-07-07)In this article we propose the category of euphoric narratives both to explain the construction of the sculpture ‘Monumento a los hombres del mundial’ (Monument to the Men of the World Cup) in Lima, Peru, but more importantly, to analyse a dynamic which transcends that situation and accounts for a set of cultural changes that have arisen in strongly restructured societies for the purposes of neoliberal policies. The Peruvian national football team’s qualification for the World Cup in Russia in 2018 generated a collective sense of optimism in the national community rarely seen in recent history. The article traces the interrelation between football, a rich site for the deployment of popular narrative strategies in relation to the construction of identities, the neoliberal rationality, which feeds on and manipulates (collective) euphoria for commercial and/or political gain and the specific socio-political Peruvian context in the run-up to the World Cup in Russia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Drilling under the COVID-19 pandemic: a diary study of professional football players' mental health and workout performance(Wiley, 2021-05-04)There is little research examining how individuals' daily experience during a pandemic affects their daily mental health status and work performance. To address this knowledge gap, we invoke conservation of resources theory to propose a resource-based framework explaining how individuals' daily COVID-19 intrusive experience affects their daily mental health status (depression and anxiety) and work performance via its effect on daily psychosocial resource loss and gain; We further examine whether their supervisors' daily visionary leadership behaviour alleviates the adverse impacts of daily COVID-19 intrusive experience. Results, based on daily diary data from 139 football players (or soccer players) at 15 professional football clubs over 5 days during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided support for our predictions. Our study extends the literature by providing previously undocumented evidence on daily within-person variations in mental health status and work performance during a pandemic and by offering theory-driven insights into the mediating and moderating mechanisms involved in within-person variations. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Prevention and Control of Violence and Aggression in Football Fans: Implications for Sport Psychologists, Fans, and Policymakers(Taylor & Francis, 2023-11-02)This research was conducted to design an interpretive structural model of factors affecting the prevention and control of violence and aggression in football fans. The statistical population of this study was entirely composed of sport experts, executive managers, sociologists, and management professors in Iran. Thirteen individuals were accordingly selected as the research sample using non-probability purposeful sampling. The effective factors were identified through library study and reviewing the theoretical foundations and research background. Confirming the content validity of these factors by considering experts' opinions, 14 factors were finally identified. The interrelationships between the factors were determined using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), and network analysis based on Decision Making and Trial Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was also employed to measure their importance, ranking them accordingly. The factors were categorized into four levels according to ISM. The highest level (first level) includes "match day service quality," "fair refereeing," "consolidation of social ties," and "cognitive reconstruction of fans." The second level contains "design, protection, and security of stadiums," "patterning and identification," and "use of calming techniques." "Awareness and informing" and "anger control training" belong to the third level, while the lowest level (fourth level) includes "media," "fan organizations," "laws, regulations, and security solutions," "moral education or persuasion," and "teaching communication skills to fans." Among them, the last level is fundamental, influencing the other factors. The results obtained in this work can be used as a basis for policymaking to reduce violence and aggression among football fans. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Nacionalismo y fútbol: el rechazo de los Gobiernos británico y francés a la Superliga Europea de Fútbol(Pablo de Olavide University, 2023-12-15)ResumenLa reacción de los Gobiernos británico y francés contra la puesta en marcha de una Superliga Europea de fútbol fue una evidencia de que el discurso nacionalista, que ha ganado fuerza en los últimos años, también se ha extendido al campo deportivo. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la influencia del nacionalismo en la postura de rechazo manifestada por los Gobiernos francés e inglés a la puesta en marcha de una Superliga Europea. La hipótesis que es puesta a prueba es que las administraciones de Boris Johnson y Emanuel Macron reconocieron el capital político que otorgaba presentar una postura nacionalista en un contexto en el que la globalización está presentando retrocesos. Para cumplir con ello, se aplicó un enfoque exploratorio a partir de un análisis cualitativo de contenido que permitiera reconocer la presencia del discurso nacionalista en las declaraciones de los gobiernos implicados y una herramienta de Política Comparada del Diseño de Sistemas Diferentes que permitió contrastar los casos estudiado. Tras el análisis se pudo observar que ambos gobiernos apelaron a un discurso nacionalista en el que la defensa al fútbol local se apoyó en una identidad, valores nacionales y fronteras territoriales. Mientras el británico lo hizo desde una mirada local, el Francés desde una continental. AbstractThe reaction of the British and French Governments against the launch of a European Football Super League was evidence that the nationalist discourse, which has gained traction in recent years, has also spread to the sports field. This article aims to analyze the influence of nationalism on the stance of rejection expressed by the French and English Governments to the launch of a European Super League. The hypothesis that is being tested is that the administrations of Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron recognized the political capital provided by presenting a nationalist position in a context in which globalization is presenting setbacks. To comply with this, an exploratory approach was applied from a qualitative content analysis that allowed to recognize the presence of nationalist discourse in the declarations of the governments involved and a tool of Comparative Policy of the Design of Different Systems that allowed to contrast the cases studied. After the analysis, it was observed that both governments appealed to a nationalist discourse in which the defense of local football was supported by an identity, national values and territorial borders. While the British did it from a local perspective, the French from a continental one. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Internationalisation strategy in sport: the case of Flamengo, the largest Brazilian football club(Routledge, 2025-01-01)Research question: The present study analyses an emerging market (EM) football club and its internationalisation strategy, seeking to understand its motivations, perceived competitive advantages, strategies and targets. In doing so, we highlight differences from major European clubs’ strategies. Research methods: An in-depth case study was conducted with Flamengo, the wealthiest and most popular Brazilian football club. As sources of information, we counted on four formal in-depth interviews; observation, and informal interactions during 123 meetings with different actors; and 1,527 pages of secondary data, all duly coded and triangulated. Results and findings: EM clubs’ internationalisation strategies seem to be influenced by their outsider position in the central network of clubs and leagues. Such outsidership influences the advantages they choose to exploit, their strategies, and market selection. Implications: This study contributes to filling literature gaps with direct practical implications regarding (1) multi-club ownership, understudied as a mode of internationalisation; (2) the internationalisation process of EM football clubs, to date unexplored; and (3) the comparison of the Latin American/EM club model to the mainstream European club mode of management and internationalisation.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Cavalheiros em uniforme. Futebol, nacionalismo e rivalidade ritualizada entre Peru e Chile, 1932-1933(Universidad Nacional de Colombia::will be referenced::ROR-ID, 2025-12-31)Objective: To historically analyze how, during the early 1930s, a football rivalry between Peru and Chile was consolidated, combining elements of sporting competition and gestures of diplomatic rapprochement, promoted through the symbolic field of sport. Methodology: Using primary (press from both countries) and secondary sources, the study employs the historical method and documentary review to analyze how Colo Colo's international tours functioned as catalysts for national discourses about playing style, allowing the Peruvian press to construct an image of its own football identity vis-à-vis the Chilean press. Originality: The article provides a little-explored perspective on this rivalry before the first official match between their national teams. Thus, it proposes the concept of “gentlemanly amateurism” as a key to understanding the sporting ethos of the period and examines how journalistic discourse not only chronicled but also shaped a style of play valued aesthetically and as a form of identity by fans. Conclusions: Soccer operated as a space for paradiplomacy, promoting symbolic reconciliation after the signing of the Treaty of Lima; however, this reconciliation did not eliminate tensions, but rather reconfigured them in a ritualized manner. The study reveals how sports discourses can convey narratives of national identity that endure over time.
