Twenty-four unforgettable matches. One continent’s story, told through the language of football.
That’s what football and history are like: they intertwine, overlap, interchange. And while many matches have gone down in history, many chapters of history have been written with the ink of the football in a hundred metre field, by twenty-two players; despite wars, revolutions, dark periods and great changes.
-
A unique blend of football and history: from wars to revolutions, from political resistance to social change—all told through the lens of the world’s most beloved sport.
-
Combines historical facts with narrative storytelling to engage young readers (9+) with accessible, emotional and often surprising true stories from 1872 to today.
