This article presents the main empirical findings of a study on transnational practices and identifications that have developed at the social space of European football over the last decades as a consequence of the globalization processes. The aim of the study has been to identify and quantify the emergence of consumption and identification patterns that go beyond the Nation-state borders to which they were confined from the appearance and initial development of this sport. The empirical support for this work comes from a survey carried out within a European Union funded research project (7th Framework Programme) entitled Football Research in an Enlarged Europe (FREE). The results of the study indicate a reconfiguration of the connections between football and society in relation with the development of transnational practices and identifications living with others of national scope.
