The Covid pandemic has affected contemporary lives to unprecedented levels, including the world of sports, which have faced training and competition bans, matches and tournaments having been postponed or cancelled. However, the Union of the European Football Associations (UEFA) was keen to continue playing despite the pandemic and staged matches played behind closed doors. Thus, UEFA provided the involved parties with a strict protocol of how to organise and conduct matches in order to protect players and staff from contracting the virus, as well as to limit the risk of spreading the virus. This study provides a visual auto-ethnographical account of a European qualifier match between the women´s national teams of Iceland and Sweden. The match took place in September 2020, in the midst of the second wave of the Covid pandemic which was sweeping through Europe at the time. This visual story illustrates how the Covid pandemic was experienced in a team working quarantine and how it affected the social organisation of the match as shown by established rules and recommendations for human conduct and manifested in new norms of behaviour. The visual story further highlights how the pandemic imposed unprecedented challenges for sport teams to settle the conflicting forces of how to withhold manifested and collective team rituals under such constrains, as for the social organisations, which had to make-up protocols, at short notice, in order to keep the virus at bay. When analysed visually those protocols seemed inconsistent and illogical at times. It can however be argued, that despite those inconsistencies the protocols should be recognised as a responsible act for public welfare as they counter possible public health repercussions associated with such pandemics.

在“工作隔离”中体验的国际足球比赛——摄影之旅

Covid 大流行对当代生活的影响达到了前所未有的水平,包括体育界,它们面临着训练和比赛禁令、比赛和锦标赛被推迟或取消。然而,尽管有大流行和闭门进行的比赛,欧洲足球协会联盟 (UEFA) 仍然热衷于继续比赛。因此,欧足联为相关各方提供了如何组织和进行比赛的严格协议,以保护球员和工作人员免受病毒感染,并限制病毒传播的风险。这项研究提供了冰岛和瑞典女子国家队之间欧洲预选赛的视觉自动人种学描述。比赛于 2020 年 9 月举行,在当时席卷欧洲的第二波新冠病毒大流行中。这个视觉故事说明了 Covid 大流行是如何在团队工作隔离中经历的,以及它如何影响比赛的社会组织,如人类行为的既定规则和建议所示,并体现在新的行为规范中。视觉故事进一步突出了大流行如何对运动队施加了前所未有的挑战,以解决如何在这种限制下隐瞒明显和集体的团队仪式的冲突力量,对于必须在短时间内制定协议的社会组织,为了阻止病毒。当进行视觉分析时,这些协议有时似乎不一致和不合逻辑。不过可以辩称,
