Episode Details

A match ends after ninety minutes. The shirt someone wore, the song they heard on the way there or the place where they watched it can stay with them for decades. Those details are part of football’s history too. Asad Raza is Editor in Chief of MUNDIAL, the football magazine known for stories about supporters, travel, kits and the lives surrounding the game. His own writing pays close attention to matchday rituals and to the objects through which fans remember football. It offers a useful perspective on what sports media can preserve when the result is no longer the headline.

With Amadeus Thüner, Asad explores the stories that live beyond the pitch. Why do certain images and ordinary objects hold so much meaning for fans? What can a magazine reveal about a club or a tournament that a highlight clip cannot? And how do you tell football stories for people who already know the score? An episode about football culture, memory and the details that make the game personal.
