Abstract

Football has become a large scale phenomenon around the world. One of the main reasons for this success is its ability to articulate symbolic identification processes that depend on social, political, religious or cultural circumstances of each territory. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between football and the sociopolitical context in which it is developed. Concretely, it deepens in its capacity for the construction of ethnic or national collective identities. For that, two of the most significant cases in which the sporting rivalry and conflictive sociopolitical circumstances has mixed in the European context are revised. First, the case of Yugoslav Wars and the role played by Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb is approached. Subsequently, the case of the Glasgow derby between Celtic FC and Rangers FC, that represents the political and religious conflict in Northern Ireland and Scotland is analyzed. The paper concludes by highlighting that soccer can become a useful tool to observe and understand the processes taking place in society
