Description

The podcast that brings together football and politics. We'll be exploring the relationship between the two, both inside and outside the game.

The podcast covers "Big Politics" like politicians, clubs, international and national federations and other organised groups and how they use or abuse the game to "Small, Everyday Politics" in the form of community-level clubs, fan associations and the way that football reflects the political challenges of our day to day lives.

The FootPol Podcast is brought to you by co-hosts Drs Francesco Belcastro and Guy Burton.
