This volume aspires to encourage a greater focus on this topic. Here are assembled papers that discuss various aspects of this subject. As it happens all deal with football (soccer) largely in Egypt but including other Middle Eastern countries. Some are historically or politically oriented while others take a more sociological approach. Papers deal with the relation between organized sports and fans, with the special place of youngsters and women in sports, or with the role of sports in a more general understanding of culture and society as indicators of modernization and other facets of social change. Sportive competitions arouse keen passions around such issues as gender, class, and nationality, while they raise questions about leadership on and off the field, and about the economic impact of the games. The topic needs more research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors:\u003cbr\u003eDeena Abdelmonem \u003cbr\u003eZeinab Abul-Magd\u003cbr\u003eYasmine Ahmed\u003cbr\u003eSandrine Gamblin\u003cbr\u003eEllis Goldberg\u003cbr\u003eNicholas S.
