Book launch: Football for the soul

Join us and local author and BBC Sport journalist, Alex Bysouth, to celebrate the release of his book, Football for the Soul: Rediscovering the Beauty in the Beautiful Game. 

The book journeys through the European game — from Bilbao to Berlin, Paris, Naples, Amsterdam and beyond — drawing on candid personal interviews to get to the heart of what makes football special and why it matters so much. It explores and uncovers some of the most unusual and intriguing stories in European football, including interviews with players, directors, fans and journalists — a must-read for fans who want feel-good, wholesome tales that help make sense of why we really love the beautiful game.
