Podium, Two: Football Anecdotes

Football is perhaps the most popular pastime in human history. Today it has become one of the world’s most successful industries: local clubs have turned into businesses, and every child who loves the game dreams of playing for one of the great international teams.

Yet beyond the professional world and its markets, football remains a social phenomenon, made by people and for people. In streets, stadiums and neighbourhoods, it is a place where people gather, share their hopes and make their voices heard. Football is more than just a game.

This exhibition is our own story of football: the football we know, and the football we love.
