Our guest is Matt Walker, author of Europe United, which chronicles his groundhopping mission to watch a top-flight match in each of the 55 UEFA member countries…in a single season.

From being filmed in the Negev Desert to island-hopping in Finland, Matt’s travels make for incredible reading. Our editor, Chris Lee, was privileged to be at the launch of Europe United at Golazio in London.
