About football fans, their actions and their self-image, but also about the future of women's football - sports journalist Mia Guethe (11Freunde) in conversation with Dietrich Leder.
Mia Guethe, born in Hamburg in 2002, is a sports journalist for the monthly magazine for soccer culture 11FREUNDE, which is now part of the Spiegel Group, and also works as a freelance journalist. She moved to Berlin a few years ago to study political science and is still based in the capital, where she writes and speaks mainly about sports policy issues such as modern soccer, the commercialization of sport, sexism in the industry and in stadiums, and the everyday business of sport. She also repeatedly perceives soccer as a socio-cultural phenomenon and thus addresses a soccer culture in various ways that needs to be preserved with humor and criticism. Articles from the recent past include (all behind the paywall):
A self-experiment with Saudi Arabian soccer.
A report about the SGS Essen.
A portrait of the brains behind FC Venice.
An account of the culture war in German soccer.
And a commentary on the diversity debate in the national team.
