  • Football, Nationalism and the Chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan
    “Allah! Wehdat! Al-Quds Arabiya!”: Football, Nationalism and the chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan by Joshua MacKenzie B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2010 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Joshua MacKenzie 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2015 Approval Name: Joshua MacKenzie Degree: Master of Arts (History) Title: “Allah! Wehdat! Al-Quds Arabiya!”: Football, Nationalism and the Chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan Examining Committee: Chair: Mary-Ellen Kelm Associate Professor Paul Sedra Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Thomas Kuehn Supervisor Associate Professor Derryl MacLean Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskandar External Examiner Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Date Defended/Approved: November 27, 2015 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract After the Jordanian Civil War in 1970—which saw the Jordanian army defeat Palestinian guerrillas, the death of thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan and the exile of Palestinian political organizations and leaders from refugee camps—Palestinians in Jordan became politically and socially marginalized. Despite these marginalizations, Palestinians in Jordan always had access to sport. This thesis will examine how the football club, al-Wehdat, plays a role in creating and establishing identity and nationalism for Palestinians in Jordan. By using oral history, I move beyond the narrative of a homogenous Palestinian identity and demonstrate the complexities of Palestinian identities. Moreover, utilizing oral history in my thesis challenges the notion of football being cathartic, and demonstrates how al-Wehdat fans are able to: A) manoeuvre within the stadium, despite being under constant surveillance, B) to continue to use al-Wehdat as a political platform, predominantly through their chants, and C) to develop Palestinian identity and nationalism in Jordan.

  • Asian Football Magazine, a New Project That Will Focus on Different Regions of Asia, Exploring Football, Economic and Social Issues Linked to Our Favorite Sport
    1 It is with great pleasure that we present to our readers the first issue of All Asian Football Magazine, a new project that will focus on different regions of Asia, exploring football, economic and social issues linked to our favorite sport. In this first release we decided to focus our attention on the Arabian Peninsula, exploring the political diatribe that has been going on since 2017, when Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies decided to end diplomatic relations with Qatar. Doha has been accused of supporting terrorism, as it is closer, politically speaking, to Shiite Iran, the great enemy of Riyadh. For over a decade, the Arab states, through the richest sovereign wealth funds, have started investing in football by changing the balance of power on a global level, in a way that Russia and China have not yet managed to accomplish. The Emirs' Manchester City and Qatar's Paris Saint Germain have overturned the European transfer market by raising the bar more and more every year, up to the over 200 million euros that the Parisians spent to snatch Neymar from Barcelona. These aggressive maneuvers have led to a surge in the price of the players transfer prize, but for the two 'Arab clubs' there are consequences to pay: Manchester City was banned by UEFA to partecipate to European Cups for the next two years having violeted the Financial Fair Play, and Paris Saint Germain could be the next club to be banned. The biggest controversy in world football was the assignment of the World Cup in Qatar, an unexpected event that put the small Gulf state at the center of global attention.
