ABSTRACT

A national football team is perceived as symbol of the national identity. One of the elements of European national identity is race. At the beginning of twentieth century on the Old Continent, most of the state teams’ players were light-skinned, likewise the other citizens of their countries. Nevertheless, since the 1930s it has been observing the growing process of appearance of dark-skinned players in subsequent national football teams. The paper explores the emergence of the dark-skinned football players in European national teams (UEFA members). It considers all the 39 cases of the dark-skinned pioneers in European national teams – from Andrew Watson (Scotland, debut in national team in 1881) to Ariclenes da Silva Ferreira ‘Ari’ (Russia, debut in 2018). Based on them, the text distinguishes the seven waves of this interracial transnationalism.

摘要

国家橄榄球队被视为国家身份的象征。欧洲民族认同的要素之一是种族。二十世纪初，在旧大陆，大多数州队的球员都是浅肤色，其他国家的公民也是如此。尽管如此，自1930年代以来，它一直在观察随后的国家足球队中黑皮肤球员出现的增长过程。本文探讨了深色皮肤的足球运动员在欧洲国家队（UEFA成员）中的出现。它考虑了欧洲国家队中所有 39 名深色皮肤先驱——从安德鲁·沃森（苏格兰，1881 年首次亮相国家队）到阿里克内斯·达席尔瓦·费雷拉“阿里”（俄罗斯，2018 年首次亮相）。基于它们，文本区分了这种跨种族跨国主义的七次浪潮。
