In regelmäßigen Abständen stimmen Delegierte von internationalen Sportverbänden über die Vergabe von sportlichen Großereignissen ab. Mit einer solchen Vergabe treffen Sportverbände keine bloße Standortentscheidung, sondern setzen im Rahmen ihrer Wettkampforganisation mittels Austragungsbedingungen gezielt wirtschaftliche Interessen um. Dank ihrer Veranstalterposition und der daraus resultierenden rechtlichen Gestaltungsmacht können Sportverbände die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen für eine Vergabe festlegen und sich exklusive Vermarktungsrechte sichern. Die bestmögliche Umsetzung der wirtschaftlichen Ziele ist für den veranstaltenden Sportverband ebenso bedeutsam wie die Qualität der angebotenen Leistungen. Dies macht Vergabeentscheidungen besonders anfällig für Korruption.Die Autorin zeigt in dieser Doktorarbeit auf, dass eine Vergabeentscheidung, die sich nicht allein nach Geeignetheit und Qualität der angebotenen Leistungen richtet, den leistungsbezogenen und lauteren Wettbewerb stört und befasst sich mit der Frage:Ist eine von Korruption beeinflusste Stimmabgabe bei einer Vergabeentscheidung über sportliche Großereignisse nach §¿299¿StGB strafbar?

Im Berliner Fußballverein TuS Dahlem rumort es: Es gibt Gerüchte über finanzielle Unregelmäßigkeiten und sexuelle Übergriffe, ein umstrittener Präsident wird gewählt, und die Eltern der Jugendfußballer üben wiederholt heftige Kritik an einem Trainer. Eines Nachts wird dieser Trainer tot vor dem Vereinsgelände aufgefunden. Der Ich-Erzähler Jürgen Rieger war kurz zuvor noch mit ihm zusammen und gerät daher ins Blickfeld der Kriminalpolizei. Da er nicht einmal die Todesursache kennt, fällt es ihm schwer, sich zu verteidigen. Als der Fall schon abgeschlossen scheint, erfährt Rieger noch ein überraschendes Detail.

“Gør dit liv til en drøm og din drøm til virkelighed.”Citat fra Den lille prins af Saint-Exupery, tatoveret på Griezmanns arm.GOAL-serien er fortalt af den verdensberømte fodboldspiller Antoine Griezmann.

Korruption und Manipulationen im Sport sind so alt, wie der Sport selbst. In der jüngeren Vergangenheit scheint die Manipulation von Sportveranstaltungen aufgrund der globalen medialen Verknüpfung allerdings ein nicht nur beiläufiges Phänomen zu sein. Verdachtsfälle erstrecken sich mittlerweile auf sämtliche Sportarten und über Ländergrenzen hinweg. Hier stellt sich die Frage: Welche Maßnahmen können seitens des Gesetzgebers, der Sportverbände und -vereine ergriffen werden, um präventiv auf die Vermeidung von Manipulationen hinzuwirken? Der Verfasser unterzieht die geltenden Regeln und Maßnahmen am Beispiel des Fußballsports in unterschiedlichen Fallkonstellationen einer Bewertung und stellt dar, wo Präventionsmaßnahmen zur Steigerung der Effektivität sinnvoll implementiert werden können.

Die BSG Stahl Brandenburg ist einer der Fußballvereine, die in der DDR-Oberliga Geschichte schrieben. Als einzige Mannschaft nie aus jener Liga abgestiegen, schaffte Stahl sogar den Sprung in den Europapokal und konnte sich nach dem Ende der DDR auch für den gesamtdeutschen Profifußball qualifizieren. Es folgte ein steiler sportlicher Abstieg, der den Verein mehrfach an den Rand seiner Existenz brachte. Der jedoch die Mitglieder auch eng zusammenrücken ließ, was den Grundstein dafür legte, dass die Havelstädter noch heute über ein wunderschönes Stadion, eine exzellente Nachwuchsarbeit und eine enthusiastische Fanszene verfügen. "Wie aus STAHL FEUER wurde" ist das erste Buch über die BSG Stahl Brandenburg. Es erzählt ausführlich deren Geschichte, versehen mit zahlreichen Anekdoten, gesellschaftspolitischen Einordnungen, etlichen Fotos und ausführlichen Statistiken. Zudem verdeutlicht das Buch, warum auch heutige Fangenerationen die "Faszination Stahl Brandenburg" jedem Bundesliga-Spiel vorziehen.

Dietro lo pseudonimo di Lele Medinho si celano due giornalisti sportivi italiani, molto amici, che a lungo, per evitare di essere tacciati di parzialità, hanno tenuto nascosta la loro passione per il Brasile e i suoi miti, vuoi musicali vuoi calcistici. In questa occasione però hanno ritenuto giusto, addirittura doveroso, celebrare Pelè, il più grande calciatore di sempre.

The Sunday Times Sports Book of the YearA Times Book of the YearA Financial Times Book of the YearA Guardian Book of the YearA New Statesman Book of the Year'The heartwarming story of the collaboration and friendship between English football's oddest couple, Elton John and Graham Taylor' The Times' A wonderful, feel-good account of an ultimately English provincial story' Simon Kuper_____________________ An unforgettable British underdog story from one of our greatest narrative nonfiction writers, John Preston, and the international musical icon and bestselling author, Sir Elton John.Britain in the 1970s was beset by unrest and unemployment, as inflation soared, fuel was scarce, and hooliganism was on the rise. And for Watford FC, the outlook was even gloomier. Rundown and rat-infested, Watford were an ailing side with holes in their kit and barely enough fans to fill a stand. Of the 92 clubs in the Football League, spread across four divisions, Watford were in 92nd place.Meanwhile, Elton John was the most successful rockstar in the world. With six-inch platforms, spangled jumpsuits, and peroxide hair, he was glamorous, gay, and seemingly a world away from the semi-detached house in Pinner where he had supported Watford FC as a child. Many assumed he would move to America. Instead, he bought the football club.Watford Forever is the remarkable story of Elton John's ownership of Watford FC and its transformational journey to the top of the First Division under iconic manager Graham Taylor. Perhaps most remarkably, four of the same players who had been written off as has-beens went with them all the way from the bottom to the top. Inspiring and infectiously funny, this is a tribute to football's unlikeliest friendship as Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback with a love of Vera Lynn, beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a community.Immersed in the grime and glamour of '70s Britain, Watford Forever is one of sport's great underdog stories and a love letter to the beautiful game.

Die Abstiege 1980 und 2021 waren die wohl größten Desaster der Vereinsgeschichte des SV Werder Bremen.Jahrelange Misswirtschaft zahlreicher Verantwortlicher führte den Verein in diese düsteren Zeiten. Es wurden des öfteren personelle Konsequenzen gezogen, aber Glückstreffer gab es über die Jahre gesehen nur wenige. Letztendlich mündete es in die Abstiege.Wie konnte der Verein sich vom ersten Abstieg erholen, wie kam der anschließende Erfolg und was sagen der ehemalige Erfolgs-Manager Willi Lemke und der langjährige Torwart Dieter Burdenski zu den Situationen?Die interessanteste Frage ist aber, ob sich der Verein heute wie damals in genauso kurzer Zeit wieder rehabilitieren und die europäischen Plätze angreifen kann. Torschützenkönig & Aushängeschild des Vereins, Niclas Füllkrug, hat sich ebenso einigen Fragen diesbezüglich gestellt.Die Sichtweisen der Experten, die von ungefähr 500 Fans sowie meine persönliche Prognose für die Zukunft werden in diesem Werk erläutert.Dieses Buch ist ein Muss für jeden Werder-Fan und Fußball-Enthusiasten, die tiefer in die Geschichte eintauchen möchten!

There will never be another story like that of Leeds United Football Club in the 1960s.Post-war industrial England, a dirty hinterland in the North and Midlands where the skyline was punctuated by grimy old stacks and evil-looking factories. It was a simpler time, but also less informed; if you said 'Prosecco', 'Paparazzi' and 'Literati' to even the worldly-wise gentlemen of the press, after the sneer, you might have got a guess that you were discussing three greasy inhabitants of some mysterious Italian club's forward line. The world of the working man was all pie, peas and mash suppers, fish'n'chips, warm ale and a packet of Woodbines.There will never be another story like that of Leeds United Football Club in the 1960s. Out of grime and obscurity came Don Revie and Harry Reynolds, two self-made northerners and their handcrafted club, and this is their story, from their perspective.Revie's Leeds were like Marmite, loved by the faithful, reviled by the rest, forever branded Dirty Leeds for their uncompromising approach. Within five years, Leeds had been champions once, runners-up twice, FA Cup finalists once, semi-finalists twice and raised the League and Fairs Cups but are characterised as the ultimate example of serial bottlers.The partnership of Revie and Reynolds was made in heaven. Revie couldn't have succeeded at another club or without Reynolds - they transformed a dreary football club into an industrial giant, but never forgot the little people.In November 2015, the Daily Mirror claimed that Leeds were the most sung about football club by fans of opposing teams. They reckoned there were 117 anti-Leeds chants, a massive 67 chants more than those against second-placed Liverpool. United have achieved little of genuine footballing note since their Champions League odyssey in 2001 and have been without senior silverware since the championship in 1992, the last year before the coming of the FA Premier League.And yet, a bitter hatred of Dirty Leeds 'and all they stand for' percolates through supporters of all other clubs. Even future 'saviour' Ken Bates, chairman of Chelsea when United fans damaged a scoreboard at Stamford Bridge in 1984, had the bug, promising, 'I shall not rest until Leeds United are kicked out of the Football League. Their fans are the scum of the Earth, absolute animals and a disgrace. I will do everything in my power to make this happen.'Those words were trotted out in later years by United's own fans, expressing their 'We're Leeds and we don't care' declarations of siege mentality. 'All Leeds aren't we?' and 'we've had our ups and downs' are regular rallying choruses for the unloved faithful.So exactly why are Leeds United so universally reviled by rival football fans the length and breadth of the country?The story of Revie, Reynolds and Dirty Leeds is truly unique.

Israeli Football: Culture, Politics, and Identity focuses on the diverse aspects of the evolution of Israeli football and the social effects of these on-going processes.In the span of nine decades, Israeli football has become a faithful representation of society and its key developments. The organizational structure of the teams and their ethnic composition, fans' chants and behaviors in the stands, gender-related issues, media involvement, and other issues have reflected important societal trends and transformations. Examples of such trends include a shift from political to private ownership of football teams, a shift from Ashkenazi to Sephardi dominance, increasing diversification of the national team - from exclusive Jewish presence to a significant presence of Arab players, including a non-Jewish captain of the national team, a shift from local-based to global-based fandom. These changes, reflecting major milestones in the evolution of Israeli football, did not occur in a vacuum but rather were integrally related to broader local and global trends. These effects may even have had a reciprocal nature, where developments in the sport sphere also affected the public sphere and prepared the ground for social change.The chapters in this book were first published as a special issue of the journal Israel Affairs.

This is the first book to examine football (soccer) through the lens of diaspora studies.
