    Guest Editors' Introduction

    Guest Editors’ Introduction Football and Society in Israel—a Story of Interdependence Tamar Rapoport and Amir Ben Porat Football is the most popular sports game in the world, including in Israel, where it has been played every weekend all over the country since before the establishment of the state. Football is not just a game that chil- dren and adults love to play and watch; it also involves individual, group, and collective identities, and local and national identification. Football reflects, and often accentuates, political and social conflicts that highlight ethno-national, class, political, and gender hierarchies and tensions in society. The game is largely dependent on the surrounding context(s) that determines its “relative autonomy,” which shapes its distinguished fan- dom culture(s) and practices (Rapoport 2016). The English poet T. S. Eliot referred to football as a major cultural phe- nomenon of early twentieth-century Britain. This has held true since then in Britain and in many other countries. The game crosses continental and national borders when, during the football seasons, thousands of pro- fessional footballers and millions of amateur ones congregate weekly to play the game worldwide (Goldblatt 2006). An exceedingly large number of male and female amateurs play the game on all kinds of fields, while hundreds of millions of fans of all ages, genders, classes, and ethnicities watch from the benches at local stadiums or through mass media. The same holds true every four years when the FIFA World Cup tournament (the Mundial) takes place, and every year during the European and other regional championships. Indeed, there is no other cultural event that exceeds football’s popularity, consumption, and enthusiasm: football is more than just a game.

I saw almost no one in the stands for the semi­final in Mumbai between New Zealand/Aotearoa and the West Indies (an imaginary confederation of former British colonies in the Caribbean). The match lasted about as long as a baseball game and was of high quality, with dramatic slow bowling, big hitting, shrewd captaincy, and fairly athletic fielding. The commentary was serious but delivered in good humor, and featured big names from the past of both the women’s and men’s game, such as Ian Bishop. As I watched this match, and others before it, I was writing and editing four columns, for a newspaper, CST, a football­fan website, and Psychology Today.

A socio-historical analysis of documents, correspondence, and newspaper items reveals the key role played by sports officialsin corruption in the football industry. More broadly, the article shows that the historical context and a political model of commitment to political centres in which sports in Israel in general and Israeli football in particular operated constituted fertile ground for unorthodox conduct and practices that undermined the integrity of football matches. These findings challenge various theories that argue that corruption in sports has universal features that are independent of specific historical, social, cultural circumstances.

However, behind the recent success of the latest European Championship final round lurk many concerns thrown up by the famous Bosman ruling, which, at inter- national level, made it easier for players to move clubs and removed the limitations previously imposed by the national and international football authorities. One of the consequences of this explosion of transfers is that it has become more difficult in some countries for young players to work their way up to their club’s first team, a struggle which may make them turn their backs on football and take up another sport instead. Of course, a talented youngster always manages to make room for himself, but even he needs suitable training in order to develop and make the most of his skills. But training is expensive; it sometimes costs even more than talent scouting, and requires patience.
