Imperialism, cultural identity, and football

Football has been linked to politics since its inception, and from the beginning, it represented a form of cultural models that the British colonization deliberately and unintentionally sought to spread in all its colonies. In the context of this relationship between colonization and sport, the importance of the book "Imperialism, Cultural Identity, and Football.. How the British Empire Created the Egyptian National Sport" appears to explore the social history of the global game, through the memoirs of officials who served in British colonies, British army records, FIFA archives, the International Olympic Committee, royal engineers, and British newspapers.
