Who we are
FAITHBALL is an academic research project funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Actions (MSCA).
The project is hosted by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy) and investigates narratives, myths, and religious rituals in football during the Franco regime in Spain and the shifting political powers in Argentina (1939–1976).
