    El Partido contra la Pobreza del PNUD recauda 370 000 euros para los esfuerzos de recuperación tras el Ebola Ginebra / St-Etienne 26 de mayo de 2015 – el XII Partido contra la Pobreza disputado el pasado mes de abril en St. Etienne (Francia) que acogió a 33.913 espectadores, recaudó 370 000 euros para ayudar a las naciones de África Occidental a recuperarse de la crisis del virus del Ébola. Así se ha anunciado tras reunir todos los ingresos obtenidos de la venta de billetes, los derechos de difusión y el patrocinio del evento del 20 de abril. Dos terceras partes de la recaudación se destinarán a ayudar a los esfuerzos de recuperación de los países más afectados por la epidemia —Guinea, Liberia y Sierra Leona— mientras que la Asociación del club, ASSE Coeur-Vert, que impulsa proyectos sociales en Saint-Etienne, recibirá el tercio restante. "Con el trabajo en equipo y la solidaridad, el poder del juego global puede ayudar al esfuerzo por combatir una de las enfermedades más devastadoras de los últimos tiempos” dijo Gina Casar, Secretaria General Adjunta y Administradora Asociada del PNUD. “Los países afectados siguen necesitando el apoyo de la comunidad internacional para llegar a cero casos de Ébola, mantenerlos al cero y avanzar en el camino a la recuperación ”. Más de 20.000 personas han perdido la vida por esta enfermedad mortal y el brote ha causado una extensa crisis socio-económica de proporciones sin precedentes, con un riesgo real de que los progresos económicos y sociales alcanzados en los tres países pudieran frenarse o incluso invertirse.

  • Triumph and Tragedy: the Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (With Charlie Bamforth)
    Geoffrey Publications is delighted to announce the imminent availability of a new book, ‘Triumph and Tragedy: The Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (with Charlie Bamforth). Few indeed are the people who can claim to have been intimately involved in professional football for more than 60 years. Fewer still are those who can justly say that they reached the very top as a player, a coach and as an ambassador for the game. And surely nobody else can say that they did this whilst somehow trying to come to terms with the tragic death of a child. Soccer has been the lifeblood of Alan Hinton since he was a young Wednesbury lad watching Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion, imploring visiting supporters to send him their clubs’ programmes. He left school at not-quite-15 years old to join the ground staff at Wolves. He was, literally, taken under the wing of the legendary Jimmy Mullen and transformed into a dynamic, completely two-footed left winger with a dynamic shot who was top scorer in Stanley Cullis’ young Wanderers team of the early sixties. The youngster never got too big for his boots - and this book gives endless stories of his down-to-earth nature. For example, how many modern players would be making their way to and from work on two buses and going home to share a bed with his brother after making his England debut, aged 19? Wolves fans were devastated when their ‘Noddy’ was let go to Nottingham Forest in 1964, though not so heartbroken as Hinton himself.

    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

  • FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual
    FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual History of Futsal The development of Salón Futbol or Futebol de Salão now called in many countries futsal can be traced back to 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay, the same year the inaugural World Cup was held in the country. This early form of futbol Sala (futsal) was developed by Juan Carlos Ceriani to be played at YMCAs. Ceriani's game was designed for five players per team, and could be played indoors or outdoors. At around the same time, a similar form of football played on basketball courts was being developed in São Paulo, Brazil. These new forms of football were quickly adopted throughout South America. The Brazilian Confederation of Sport instituted its first official rules for futebol de salão in 1958. The international governing body FIFUSA (Federación Internacional de Fútbol de Salón, International Futsal Federation) was created in 1971 to administer the game, and held its first futsal world championship in São Paulo in 1982. Due to an apparent dispute with FIFA over the administration of fútbol, FIFUSA coined the word fut-sal in 1985, while the United States Futsal Federation coined the name "Futsal" the same year. FIFA soon began to administer its own indoor soccer games, creating its own version of the rules and hosting its first FIFA Indoor Soccer World Championship in 1989 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 1992 it was the FIFA Five-a-Side World Championship (Hong Kong) and since 1996 it has been called the FIFA Futsal World Championship (Guatemala). One of the most remarkable changes was the reduction of the ball weight and increase in ball size (from a handball size to a football size 4), which enabled faster play and, for the first time, scoring goals with the head (though this is still difficult and uncommon).
