With the help of the state, appreciation for football in Egypt peaked in the late 2000s. Yet after Mubarak fell, fans questioned their previous support, calling for a reformed football for a new, postrevolutionary nation. In Egypt?s Football Revolution, Carl Rommel examines the politics of football as a space for ordinary Egyptians and state forces to negotiate a masculine Egyptian chauvinism. Basing his discussion on several years of fieldwork with fans, players, journalists, and coaches, he investigates the increasing attention paid to football during the Mubarak era; its demise with the 2011 uprisings and 2012 Port Said massacre, which left seventy-two fans dead; and its recent rehabilitation. Cairo?s highly organized and dedicated Ultras fans became a key revolutionary force through their antiregime activism, challenging earlier styles of fandom and making visible entrenched ties between sport and politics. As the appeal of football burst, alternative conceptions of masculinity, emotion, and politics came to the fore to demand or prevent revolution and reform. 606 $aSoccer$xPolitical aspects$zEgypt 606 $aSoccer$xSocial aspects$zEgypt 606 $aSports$xAnthropological aspects$zEgypt 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 610 $aEgypt, masculinity, soccer, sports, sports and politics, egyptian politics, Cairo, Arab Spring, Egyptian revolution, Middle East politics. 615 0$aSoccer$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSoccer$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSports$xAnthropological aspects 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a796.3340962 700 $aRommel$b Carl$01740854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910862086403321 996 $aEgypt's Football Revolution$94166696 997 $aUNINA
