“…Norwegians demonstrate a passion for winter sports, such as crosscountry skiing (see e.g., Goksøyr, 2008), Spaniards prefer summer sports, such as cycling and soccer (Delorme & Raspaud, 2011), and for Germans, winter sports, such as biathlon, or summer sports, such as soccer, are equally popular (IfD Allensbach, 2019). The culture of sport in Europe in general, and in Germany, Norway, and Spain, in particular, is influenced by various organizations from four sectors, namely, public sector, sport organizations and confederations, sport clubs, and the private sector.…”

This study applies “Europeanness” to the analysis of internationalization in the sport management labor market and which changes this trend necessitates for sport management curricula. The authors employed an analysis of 30 semistructured interviews with key informants from Germany, Norway, and Spain. The results reveal various effects of internationalization on the sport sector and highlight the richness and diversity in the three countries. Sport management graduates need to possess a diverse set of competencies for successfully starting their careers. In addition to subject-specific knowledge, generic competencies such as the ability to work in a team, being able to communicate in diverse languages, and having intercultural skills are important. The article discusses knowledge of international sport organizations, their governance, global trends, and intercultural and language competencies, as well as international sport event management as identified themes and proposes specific curriculum changes to promote educational outcomes of sport management programs.

“…Kolbjørn Rafoss has used neomarxist approaches to study participation and class differences in the use of sport facilities and arenas. The historian Matti Goksøyr has contributed to conceptualizing important aspects of modern sport and has studied the sportification process since the end of the 19th century (38).

This article examines past and present identity politics issues between England and Germany and considers the role of sport and the media in perpetuating national habitus. A qualitative case study of English and German media coverage of their semifinal match in the 1996 European Football Championships is used to illustrate the key issues. The Eliasian concepts of sleeping memories, imagined charisma, and fantasy shields are employed to construct an account of the current tensions evident in Anglo-German relations, which surface in media reporting of sporting contests. The authors’ findings point to the existence of an agenda based around nostalgia and ethnic assertiveness/defensiveness on the part of the English press, with references to the Second World War and the World Cup victory of 1966. The German press preferred to focus on the contemporary European political situation to assert their superiority over England—and to take further satisfaction from the victorious performance of their football team.
