Tien-Chin Tan and Alan Bairner. emphasise the importance of football? Is it because he played football in his youth and decided to make the game a priority for his country? Or does football have a -up, all Chinese leaders have shown a fondness for football, albeit to varying degrees. But none have taken the game as seriously as Xi, who has publicly announced his three World Cup the development of football as an important political goal. Its efforts have a coherent focus. Seven departments, under the aegis of the PRC State Council, have together formed the Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee of the National Football Leagues (CEDCNFL), which functions as a specialised organisation to tackle gambling and criminal involvement in football. The aim is to eradicate the deviant activities of match-fixing, gambling and gang manipulation, which have plagued Chinese 8 professional football since its foundation. Those seven departments are: the State General Administration of Sports (GAS), the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA), the Mini China (PBC), the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC). School Football Office (SFO) of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) to the Ministry of Education (MOE). In 2015, the MOE, together with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Ministry of Finance (MOF), the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), the GAS and the Communist Youth League of China (CYL), formed the National Youth Campus Football Leading Group Office (NYLGO). The Minister of the MOE serves as its leader while the Director- th and Arts Education, Wang Dengfeng, works concurrently as the office chief. The policy objective of the NYLGO is to have 85,000 on-campus football fields by 2020 and 50,000 football-featured schools by 2025. Leading officials of the State Council persuaded corporations to sponsor the CFA to develop football. The most noteworthy investors are Wang Jianlin, chairman of the Dalian Wanda Group (DWG), and Xu Jiayin, board chairperson of the Evergrande revitalising football, but also secured a deal to acquire a 100 percent equity stake in Infront Sports & Media (a long-term partner of FIFA), thereby helping Xi to realise his Evergrande Mode cultiva national football team.

    From Custom to Code From Custom to Code A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football Dominik Döllinger Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Humanistiska teatern, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Patrick McGovern (London School of Economics). Abstract Döllinger, D. 2021. From Custom to Code. A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football. 167 pp. Uppsala: Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2879-1. The present study is a sociological interpretation of the emergence of modern football between 1733 and 1864. It focuses on the decades leading up to the foundation of the Football Association in 1863 and observes how folk football gradually develops into a new form which expresses itself in written codes, clubs and associations. In order to uncover this transformation, I have collected and analyzed local and national newspaper reports about football playing which had been published between 1733 and 1864. I find that folk football customs, despite their great local variety, deserve a more thorough sociological interpretation, as they were highly emotional acts of collective self-affirmation and protest. At the same time, the data shows that folk and early association football were indeed distinct insofar as the latter explicitly opposed the evocation of passions, antagonistic tensions and collective effervescence which had been at the heart of the folk version. Keywords: historical sociology, football, custom, culture, community Dominik Döllinger, Department of Sociology, Box 624, Uppsala University, SE-75126 Uppsala, Sweden.

That run comprised seven wins and five draws. • Les Verts' nine-game unbeaten home run in Europe stretches back to the quarter-finals of the 1980/81 UEFA Cup, when a team featuring UEFA President Michel Platini lost 4-1 to Ipswich Town FC at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
