Football History

Podcast: Football and Society in Colombia

Please share:

I welcome Dr Pete Watson back onto the podcast to discuss his new book, Football and Nation Building in Colombia: The Only Thing That Unites Us. What role has football played in Colombia since it was first established there in the early twentieth century? How have recent governments sought to use the sport for political aims? How, in recent years, have those aims been for the societal good?
