Older than the state: ninety years of Israeli football through the looking glass

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial

Abstract

In May 1929, the Israel Football association was officially recognised by international sport organisations, after extensive political efforts. International recognition effectively institutionalised Israel’s popular sport, 1 which would eventually become not only the focus of massive interest but also a major actor in the social, economic, and political spheres of Israeli society.
