Summary/Abstract: This text examines the similarities between football and dance. In doing so, the focus is not on the many possible metaphoric relationships between football and dance. This happens for example when film clips of football games are called ‘football ballet’, or when fans are dancing Samba, or when players perform a dance with corner flags. Th e text rather aims to answer the question which structural characteristics football and dance share.
