How Football Sells Its History: Stadium Tourism and Identity ft. Felipe Tobar

THE FOOTPOL PODCAST

This week on The FootPol Podcast, we explore the booming world of football tourism, stadium tours, and club museums with expert Felipe Bertazzo Tobar of Clemson University. From the Camp Nou to the Maracanã, Felipe unpacks how football heritage has become a powerful mix of politics, identity, and global business to co-hosts Guy and Francesco.

Why do clubs curate their histories the way they do? How are women’s football and fans reshaping the stories told in these spaces? And what happens when politics and commercial branding collide in the beautiful game’s temples?

Featuring real examples from Spain, Germany, the UK, and South America, this episode dives deep into how the global game sells memory — and what’s left out of the story.
