Nevertheless, this is not enough to make our headquarters any different from those of other companies that have nothing to do with sport. We have long had the possibility of giving our administration a more sporting image however, since the Colovray stadium, owned by the Nyon authorities, is located right next door to our headquarters. And so it was proposed that efforts should be made to combine our administrative offices with these adjacent sports facilities by asking the Nyon authorities to entrust us with the long-term management and upkeep of the Colovray centre, so that we can stage our own events there, while protecting the interests of the sports clubs that also use the facilities. Negotiations were held with the municipal authorities and an agreement was reached, entrusting UEFA with the task of managing and maintaining the IN THIS ISSUE sports centre.

Having gained their first group stage win at home to Genk on matchday two (3-1), they drew both Scandinavian derbies with Malmö 1-1 and are level on points (and goal difference) with the Swedish side – two behind the front-runners from Belgium. • Beşiktaş currently prop up the group table with four points, having collected just one from their past three fixtures – in a 1-1 draw on matchday four away to Genk, who had beaten them 4-2 in Istanbul a fortnight earlier, inflicting a second successive loss after they had gone down 2-0 at Malmö. A further defeat in Norway will knock out Beşiktaş. Previous meetings • Beşiktaş beat Sarpsborg 3-1 in Istanbul on the visitors' group stage bow, Dutchmen Ryan Babel and Jeremain Lens both finding the net. There had been no previous matches between the two clubs, nor between Sarpsborg and any other Turkish team.

  • Israeli Sports – from National Pride to Political Hostility
    1 Israeli Sports – From National Pride to Political Hostility Haim KAUFMAN Zinman College, Israel Sports in the State of Israel have always vacillated between two conflicting planes. One is national sports which have been a central component of national identity and a source of national pride. The other is political sports which, as representatives of opposing political sectors in the country, have di- vided the country and have engendered a great deal of hostility and recurrent violence leading to dys- function. The tension between national sports as a tool serving national ends and sports for grinding political axes underlies the entire history of sports in Israel, and only in recent years seems to be gradually dissipating. Sports were created in Pre-Mandatory Israel at the start of the 19th Century and continued develop- ing throughout the Mandate period. With the establishment of the State of Israel, sports came under state authority. Representative sports served the young state's national interests. All-star teams and sports matches became tools for strengthening Israel's international recognition, expanding contact with other countries, increasing ties with Jewish communities in the Diaspora, and attaining prestige and honor. In the early years of the state, Israel's representative championship teams were a source of pride and identification despite their unimpressive results on the playing fields. People still remember the soccer games between Israel and the Soviet Union in 1956. At such encounters Israel was defeated twice. Nevertheless, such games were of great national value, as they strengthened political ties with the former Soviet Union and with Jews behind the "iron curtain" during the Cold War.1 Despite the new official status and national-functional relevancy of Israeli sports, their sectarian na- ture remained essentially the same.

  • 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.
