Zusammenfassung

According to the official FIFA jargon, soccer is supposed to be an instrument for a better understanding between people and a force for peace. It is also a force with the potential to electrify the masses. Therefore, politicians sometimes like to instrumentalize soccer for political ends including war. In this essay we approach the topic „Soccer between war and peace“ from several angles: Civilisation and violence, identity and nation, soccer in dictatorships, soccer and war, war and peace, development and peace. We conclude that soccer is neither good nor bad. It is what we make of it. Soccer is not a substitute of war and revolutions. It can be misused and does not rule the world. However, soccer can also be a force for good.

Abstract

According to the official FIFA jargon, soccer is supposed to be an instrument for a better understanding between people and a force for peace. It is also a force with the potential to electrify the masses. Therefore, politicians sometimes like to instrumentalize soccer for political ends including war. In this essay we approach the topic „Soccer between war and peace“ from several angles: Civilisation and violence, identity and nation, soccer in dictatorships, soccer and war, war and peace, development and peace. We conclude that soccer is neither good nor bad. It is what we make of it. Soccer is not a substitute of war and revolutions. It can be misused and does not rule the world. However, soccer can also be a force for good.
