Football has always been a fascinating lens through which to view historical and political events. What follows is an extract from Ramon Usall’s Kicking Off Around The World: 55 Stories From When Football Met Politics, which tells the emotional story of the football team that grew out of the terrible conditions of the al-Wehdat Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan. Translated from the Catalan by Luke Stobart.

We invite publishers, editors, and writers around the world who stand for justice, freedom of expression, and the power of the written word, to sign this letter and join our global solidarity collective, Publishers for Palestine. We honour the courage, creativity, and resistance of Palestinians, their profound love of their historic lands, and their refusal to be erased, or grow silent, despite Israel’s horrific genocidal acts of violence.
