In this paper I’m going to write about soccer culture. What is it that makes this culture distinctive or unique from other cultures? How do members of other cultures view this culture? Are they proud of it? Understand it? Misunderstand it? Disapprove of it?
Soccer culture refers to the cultural aspects surrounding the game of association soccer. In many countries, soccer has ingrained itselfinto the national culture, and parts of life may revolve around it. Many countries have daily soccer newspapers, as well as soccer magazines. Soccer players especially in the top levels of the game have become role models for people. The game has become glamourized, with many children practicing the game and aspiring to the wealth shown off by the top soccer players. Soccer’s power runs deeper thanthe ninety minutes played on the pitch, it has held the power to unify nations, it has played out wars and it has brought people together from around the world. For example the FIFA World Cup held every four years is the quintessential soccer event, combining the greatest players in the world and the passion of the fans. Soccer has a long and glorious history, with which a vast and diverse culturehas emerged. The culture of soccer can be easily divided into how the players, fans and clubs see the sport. 1
What makes this culture distinctive or unique from other cultures? From my perspective, it is the passion. Every time you watch or play a soccer match there is a feeling which can’t be compared to anything. There is nothing better. Since I can remember soccer has been part of my life.Started playing soccer with my friends at school, following my favorite team on TV and when possible attend to the Stadium to cheer them up.

But always both teams will play with fair play. Fair play is the name of a FIFA program which aims to increase sportsmanship as well as prevent discrimination in the game of soccer. This also involves programs to reduce racism in the game. The program extends to outside of soccer, in trying to support charities and other organizations which improve conditions around the world.3When I was 14 years old, I started to see soccer in a different way that I used to. Influences make a person change, especially when young. Being adolescent is a stage where identity is not completely defined.
