Vonnard examines why administrators created an association that transcended the barriers of the Cold War, and focused on the development of a network that promoted football outside the constraints of international politics. Finally, he emphasises the role UEFA played in the Europeanisation of the people’s game, and in the early years of the European integration process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThe research is based on a rich body of new archival material from the UEFA and FIFA Documentation Centres, and various European football federations, as well as reports from a number of leading newspapers of the era\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e and interviews with football personalities of the 1950s.
