Creating a United Europe of Football: The Formation of UEFA (1949–1961) (Football Research in an Enlarged Europe): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Creating a United Europe of Football: The Formation of UEFA (1949–1961) (Football Research in an Enlarged Europe)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book provides a historical study of the beginnings of the UEFA, demonstrating how the formation of the organisation was linked to the decentralisation experienced by FIFA, the world governing body of football. Vonnard examines why administrators created an association that transcended the barriers of the Cold War, and focused on the development of a network that promoted football outside the constraints of international politics. Finally, he emphasises the role UEFA played in the Europeanisation of the peoples game, and in the early years of the European integration process.

The research is based on a rich body of new archival material from the UEFA and FIFA Documentation Centres, and various European football federations, as well as reports from a number of leading newspapers of the era, and interviews with football personalities of the 1950s. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the history of sport, international relations, and European studies

Preface

This manuscript is the result of ten years of research on the establishment of a European perspective in football. I wanted to understand the process by which playing at the European level became something natural, arguing that theUnion des associations europennes de football(UEFA), founded in 1954, was a key actor of this process. Due to the lack of studies about the creation and early years of UEFA, most of my work focused on this topic and, more generally, on understanding the European turning point of football unfolding from the end of the 1920s to the beginning of the 1970s. It is important to note here that the book focuses exclusively on mens football (womens football was not very developed during the period studied).

The present book is a synthesis of these researches even if it focusses mainly on what happened during the 1950s. It takes into account the reflexions developed from my master thesis (published in 2012 under the title La Gense de la Coupe des clubs champions, CIES), then enlarged with a Ph.D. thesis realised at the University of Lausanne (published in 2018 under the titleEurope dans le monde du football, P.I.E. Peter Lang) and during a postdoc conducted at the University Paris-Sorbonne between 2017 and 2018. Several research results have already been published in sport sciences journals (Soccer & Society,Sport in Society,Sport in History,Sport History Review,European Study of Sport History,Sport et sciences socialesandStaps. Revue internationale de sciences du sport, Storia dello Sport. Rivista di Storia Contemporanea) and in generalist contemporary history journals (20 & 21 sicle. Revue dhistoire, Journal of European Integration History,Contemporary European History, Hispania Novaand theRevue Suisse dhistoire).

I have also developed some thoughts on the history of European football thanks to collaborative projects like the editing of several books includingBuilding Europe with the Ball(Peter Lang, 2016),Beyond Boycotts, Sport During the Cold War in Europe(De Gruyter, 2017) andDes rseaux et des hommes. Participation et contribution de la Suisse linternationalisation du sport(Alphil, 2019); and the coordination of different projects: two special issues, one on the international sport bodies (Sport in History, 2017), the other on the transnational history of the World cup (Soccer & Society, forthcoming); and the ongoing work on European exchanges in sport for the online Encyclopdia Ecrire une histoire nouvelle de lEurope (EHNE) ( www.ehne.fr ).

As I will explain in more detail in the introduction (Chapter), which enables me to develop my ideas and understanding of the history of sport through detailed, informed discussions with a supportive and friendly network of inspiring researchers.
