Super Jews. Jewish Identity in the Football Stadium

So what makes a club a Jewish club? Former Jewish officials or Jewish players? How the fans define the club themselves or through the actions of the rival fans? The exhibition Super Jews. Jewish Identity in the Football Stadium explores this phenomenon by illuminating the Jewish history of five prominent Viennese and European football clubs and diving into their fan culture.

The histories of First Vienna 1894 FC, FK Austria Wien, FC Bayern Munich, Ajax Amsterdam, and Tottenham Hotspur FC as well as their respective fans are the focus of this exhibition. The exhibition also investigates how Austria Wien and FC Bayern Munich together with their fan communities are conscious of their clubs’ Jewish history and how they address it. Additionally, the show examines how antisemitic prejudices are carried forward to the present day.
