Our publication series on world football governance is now freely available in electronic format.

The International Centre for Sports Studies is happy to make its three edited volumes on football governance available for free. They have been issued following FIFA mandates and various other  research projects implemented between 2014 and 2017. They offer a large range of detailed data and analysis linked with the relationships between national associations, leagues and clubs around the world. The three volumes will be useful for both industry professionals interested in sport governance and, in particular football, as well as for interested members of the general public worldwide.

The publications were  amongst the first of their kind, and are now widely considered as key points of reference in this particular area of sport and football studies.
