Do you Speak Football?

MUNICH, Germany, May 8 /PRNewswire/ --

-- The Official Langenscheidt UEFA Dictionary of Football

Football is the number one sport. Its worldwide popularity makes efficient international communication even more necessary. Langenscheidt and UEFA - top of the league in their fields - have therefore teamed up to compile the most up-to-date specialist football vocabulary in the official UEFA languages of German, English and French.

The dictionary contains over 5,200 terms relating to the game which to many people means the world. Whether it is flat defence or relegation zone, back heel flick or hat-trick: there are detailed definitions and a number of synonyms for each term. Informative illustrations in the appendix explain the most important basics and team formations.

What is a banana kick? And when do you talk about passive offside? Is a streaker a fast runner and what exactly is the man-marker? From kick-off to the final whistle and from fair play to foul, this reference work contains the most important terms which will help not just professional football players to be successful but everyone who is involved or interested in the game. The dictionary offers in-depth coverage of six special interest subjects - The Game, Stadium & Security, Equipment, Medical, Media, and Management & Administration - and will help you to be on the ball from a language point of view.

With this comprehensive approach, the Dictionary of Football is also an effective resource for anyone involved in football off the pitch: managers, coaches, delegates, sports physicians, journalists and fans. Just as UEFA President Michel Platini explains in his preface, UEFA wants to promote exchange within the worldwide football family and the entire community interested in football with this dictionary. Speaking football? From now on, you will be on home ground!
