Abstract

This essay seeks to explore and understand football‐related post‐communist migration patterns in Hungary, and to place these local migratory sequences into global/regional migratory processes, which are, in turn, induced and facilitated by global/regional conditions. The aim is to explicate these patterns in relation to intermingled economic, political, social and cultural factors, based on a quantitative data set, covering 12 years of Hungary’s post‐communist transition. This data set represents the emigration of professional Hungarian footballers to the professional leagues of UEFA countries and the immigration of foreign footballers to the Hungarian professional football league, centring on migration pipelines between chief donor and host countries and Hungary.[1]
