Indigo No Foreign Game: Association Football and the Making of Irish Identities | Erin Mills Town Centre

From its earliest days, Association Football was seen not just as
a contest between individuals and teams, but also between
nations and peoples. The Irish national team was among the first in
the world to participate in international competition in the early
1880s, but not everyone accepted it as a truly national entity. Sport
in Ireland was disputed ground in a manner that was not the case
elsewhere – even the term ‘ football’ itself was a contested one.
But soccer followers generally found no contradiction between their
sporting and national loyalties, and the game found an important
niche in Irish life, supported by many leading nationalists, from James
Connolly to John Hume.
This book provides a unique window into the history of Ireland and
Britain, with keen insights into the making of national, regional,
sectarian, class and gender identities that crystallised around Irish
soccer. Taking the story from the 1870s up to the present, it examines
the domestic as well the international game in Ireland, North and
South, and sets both in a richly detailed historical and cultural context.
