El fútbol a sol y sombra is a book by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, published in 1995. In this work, Galeano pays tribute to football, describing it as music of the body and a feast for the eyes, while denouncing the power structures and lucrative businesses that surround it. The author criticizes the technocracy of professional sport, which has imposed a football of pure speed and strength, renouncing joy, atrophying fantasy and prohibiting audacity. Through anecdotes and reflections, Galeano explores the passion and contradiction that this sport generates worldwide.
Uruguayan journalist and writer, author of Open Veins of Latin America and the Memory of Fire trilogy.
