In this Introduction we outline key facets of the themes covered by the papers in this themed issue. We begin by exploring the intersections between race, racism, antiracism and migration in football and the need for a better understanding of the processes that have shaped the contemporary situation. We then discuss the ways in which issues of migration and mobility play an important role in structuring the experiences of race, racism and antiracism within football. We conclude the Introduction by providing an overview of the papers that comprise this themed issue and the core themes of each paper.
