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.
Periodista y escritor uruguayo, autor de Las venas abiertas de América Latina y de la trilogía Memoria del fuego.
