Introducing 8 Interesting Football Books for Football Lovers

translated by Vahid Namazi, examines the behavior of the most extreme football fans in different parts of the world. This book tells fascinating and, of course, shocking stories of the most stubborn football fans in the world, those who consider football not a sport or entertainment, but a full-fledged war without a ceasefire. The authors of this book initially intended to produce a documentary series on the subject of extreme football fans in different countries. They even traveled to more than 7 countries around the world with their small group and entered the communities of the toughest and most violent football fans in those countries. They got into fights with some, were beaten by some, and sometimes fled in fear of their lives. They soon realized that it was not possible to produce such a series due to the lack of security in the stadiums. Of course, after the book was published, they were able to make a television series based on it, but like the book, it did not cover all the events. The book Football Maniacs tangibly narrates the passionate and ups and downs of football fans and economic enterprises, the large and widespread bets, the fights and even murders that have occurred because of football, the lives that have been torn apart because of football, and the overall inflamed atmosphere of extreme football fans. 8-How does football describe the world? Franklin Foer wrote another fascinating football book in 2004, translated in Iran by Vahid Namazi and published by Cheshme Publishing House. This book offers an analysis of the current exchanges between football and the new global economy. In his book, Foer has nicely revealed football not as a sport but as an industry. The author takes the audience around the world from stadium to stadium and tries to find a new perspective on the political and economic events of today’s world. According to the author, football is the world’s largest non-electronic medium, and every football fan anywhere in the world is automatically, and of course, an unwitting reporter for this vast medium. Dirty hands behind the scenes, dirty football matches, wasted capital in football that could have been a roof over the world’s homeless, powerful oligarchs, and ultimately the strengthening of the traditional nationalist base using the power of football are some of the sections examined in this book. Football will be much more interesting when we start reading a football work in a calm and quiet environment, away from the hustle and bustle of watching a football match, get acquainted with its bustling history, and understand what a powerful tool football is for political and cultural purposes. Many of the world’s great leaders and politicians today have a media advisor who is proficient in football and the atmosphere that governs it by their side, so that when necessary, they can use football to advance their goals.
