| Summary/Abstract |
Public campaigns aimed at preventing the demolition of sports venues represent a recent trend to recognise them as legitimate expressions of local sports culture. This article focuses on analysing what fans feel about these sports venues and the need to preserve them. Its main goal is to examine this growing phenomenon, which could affect modern preservation trends and the built heritage of sports. Focusing on the Israeli context, the article includes qualitative analysis of fans’ internet feedback expressing their attitudes towards preservation of sports facilities compared to preserving buildings associated with other cultural pursuits. It also features a series of interviews with fans and analysis of articles published in sports sections of newspapers, journals and sports blogs. The qualitative analysis shows that fans attribute five heritage values to sports venues as well as assign them historical community importance, and they do so consciously but primarily unconsciously. Thus, the primary obstacle to the decision to preserve sports venues is not the degree of emotional significance of these places for fans. Rather it is the absence of broad social recognition of the heritage of sports in Israel or of the possible advantages these buildings offer as a tangible expression of this heritage.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article seeks to document the changing patterns in football fandom over the past three decades, since the advent of the so-called era of globalisation, using the case study of Israel. It shows how, in line with global trends, Israeli fans moved from passive following of sport clubs identified with political parties to becoming active supporters with growing involvement in the clubs’ management. The article also traces the shift from party politics to patterns of nationalism and ethnocentrism amongst sport fans. Finally, it shows how Israelis moved from fandom of local clubs to that of foreign clubs, mirroring a similar trend in other countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
In May 1929, the Israel Football association was officially recognised by international sport organisations, after extensive political efforts. International recognition effectively institutionalised Israel’s popular sport, 1 which would eventually become not only the focus of massive interest but also a major actor in the social, economic, and political spheres of Israeli society.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sports seem to be an aspect of culture which cuts across all societies. Though it may be principally directed at entertainment and/or leisure, it is embedded with meanings in cultures where it is practised. Soccer, as a sporting event has transcended numerous cultures over the years. Prior to the 1990s in Nigeria, soccer fans were aligned with local clubs. With increasing globalization, fans are exposed more than ever before to the performances of foreign clubs and these have inevitably resulted in a redirection of fans' alignment with European clubs. Data for the study were collected through in-depth interviews with soccer fans in Nigeria.
