    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

  • UEFA Marks 100Th Anniversary of World War One Truce
    Media Release No. 057 Date: 11/12/2014 UEFA marks 100th anniversary of World War One truce President Platini unveils UEFA monument in Belgium UEFA releases short film tribute UEFA President Michel Platini joined public officials and UEFA member association presidents in Comines-Warneton, Belgium, today to mark the 100th anniversary of the World War One truce. The special part played by football in the truce on Christmas Day in 1914 was honoured by a sculpture commissioned by UEFA and unveiled at the commemoration. To coincide with the event, UEFA published a four-minute film featuring European football icons, bringing to life the extraordinary events of 100 years ago in Flanders. One hundred years ago, on a cold December evening, soldiers on both sides of the battle lines lowered their arms, started singing Christmas carols and played football. UEFA President Michel Platini said: “We are gathered here as one to mark that moment of brotherhood and friendship which reassures us of our shared humanity. I find it particularly moving to imagine those young men 100 years ago finding a common language in football to express their shared brotherhood. “Today football is a universal language which opens our hearts, which enables contact between cultures and brings people together across all borders and frontiers. All those years ago, football provided a vital bridge for the spontaneous expression of humanity. So it was perfectly normal for European football to pay a glowing tribute to them now, to all those who decided on that evening to think about something positive and play the game they loved.” The four-minute short film produced by UEFA features big European football names, including UEFA President Michel Platini, England and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, French national team coach Didier Deschamps, and former Germany and FC Bayern München player Paul Breitner.
