Lecture by Jiří Novotný
How does international and domestic politics influence Israeli football? We will see Israel's complex journey through the football associations of several continents or the contrast between two local football clubs, one of which is called "the most racist club in the world" and the other "the bridge between Jews and Arabs". We'll also learn which European soccer majors have the largest Jewish fan base and why. Then, in the "home window," we'll look at the history of Jewish football during the First Republic and how football was played in Terezin.
