This was not the case of soccer in Nazi Germany. On the contrary, soccer became a tool of division between individuals, political groups, and ethnicities. In a regime that emphasized the primacy of the German nation and per- secuted Jews for their supposed “racial” inferiority, soccer seems an unlikely source of exclusionary nation-building. And yet, the Nazi establishment used the popularity of soccer to develop animosity between ethnic and national groups outside its concept of the German nation in an effort to further unify the German state. A number of scholars have examined the Nazi party’s interest in both domestic and interna- tional soccer. Among these scholars is David Imhoof, whose work has examined the ways in which Nazification changed sporting culture in the German city of Gottingen. Udo Merkel has taken a sociological perspective in writing about how the German soccer federation accepted the Nazis’ attempts to mold the sport in the image of the party. Kevin Simpson and William Bowman have each described Nazi soccer policy as reflective of the Nazi party’s expansionist foreign policy in Central Europe. These scholars have provided valuable insights into the historical importance of soccer in Nazi Germany. But to fully understand the centrality of soccer in the Third Reich, one must adopt a holistic view of the ways in which the Nazi party used soccer to further their nationalist agenda.

  • Sports and Aspirations: Football in Palestine, 1900– 1948
    Sports and More than one hundred years have passed since the beginnings of football in Palestine. Aspirations: Football By the Mandate period, football was the most in Palestine, 1900– popular game in Palestine, played on streets and in schools and clubs. In this essay, I 1948 argue that football was a mirror that reflected Issam Khalidi political, economic, and social conditions in Palestine. Indeed, the emergence of sports in the 1920s coincided with the acceleration of Jewish immigration to Palestine and with increased Palestinian opposition to it. Palestinian national sentiments and activities were manifested in many aspects of Palestinian life including football. By 1948, there were some sixty-five athletic clubs in Palestine, approximately fifty-five of them members of the Arab Palestine Sports Federation (APSF). It is not known exactly when football entered St. George’s School football team, Jerusalem, Palestine; most likely it was introduced in the 1909. Source: St. George’s School archive, late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Jerusalem. [ 74 ] Sports and Aspirations: Football in Palestine, 1900–1948 by the missionary schools established throughout the country.1 These included the St. George’s School (Madrasat al-Mutran, est. 1899) and Collège des Frères (est. 1892) in Jerusalem, the Friends Boys School (est. 1901) in Ramallah, and the Salesian Schools of Bethlehem and Haifa (est. 1891). In 1908, two football teams were formed: one by Rawdat al-Ma‘aref,2 the other by St. George’s School. In 1909, the St. George’s team, which included ‘Izzat Tannus, later a member of the Arab Higher Committee,3 traveled to Beirut and defeated the team of the American University of Beirut, one of the best in the region.

Das so genannte „Anschluss“-Spiel zwischen der „Deutschen Nationalmannschaft“ und der „Deutschösterreichischen Mannschaft“ am 12. März 1938 im Wiener Praterstadion: Mathias Sindelar (rechts) und der deutsche Mannschaftskapitän Reinhold Münzenberg beim Shakehands vor dem Spiel – in der Mitte der Berliner Unparteiische Alfred Birlem, der damals prominenteste deutsche Schiedsrichter. 2 Prolog Als Struktur und Inhalte der vorliegenden Arbeit sich erstmals – im Zuge der Recherchen und nach Fertigstellung meiner Diplomarbeit1 – abzuzeichnen begannen, war von einer „EURO 2008“ noch keine Rede. Das Thema meiner Dissertation wurde mehr als ein Jahr, bevor das Los wieder einmal Österreich und Deutschland zu Gegnern gemacht hatte, eingereicht. Angesichts des Medien-Hype, zahlreicher Neuerscheinungen der Fußball-Literatur und des Veranstaltungs-Booms im Soge der Fußball-Europameisterschaft während der Fertigstellung dieser Dissertation scheint mir diese Anmerkung besonders wichtig. Der bundesdeutsche Boulevard ließ angesichts der Neuauflage des österreichisch-deutschen Duells Ende 2007 die Gelegenheit nicht aus, sofort wieder zu sticheln und die Stimmung rechtzeitig aufzuheizen. „Wir leihen euch unsere B-Elf“, lautete der „Bild“-Vorschlag gegen den „Ösi-Jammer“. Prompt begab sich die Tageszeitung „Österreich“ auf dieselbe Stufe und titelte, auf die aktuelle Krise im deutschen Skispringerlager anspielend, höhnisch: „Wir leihen euch unsere

Images of a Zionist Sports Club in Interwar Vienna ∗ Matthias Marschik Abstract: »Ansichten der Hakoah. Bilder eines zionistischen Sportvereins im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit«. The SC Hakoah was not only Vienna’s most prominent “Jewish” (Zionist) sports club of the Interwar years, but also part of the Viennese popular sports culture. The media constantly covered the club and its members. A closer look at the sports reporting reveals that different genres of the media (texts, photographs, and caricatures) produced different mean- ings. In this way the depiction of the Hakoah Sports Club was part of a complex culture producing “Jewish difference” between the poles of Antisemitism and “Jewish Vienna.” The analysis clearly demonstrates that the different "genres," i.e.
