Societies contact more with each other as a result of the increase in communication possibilities and so we have
called an increasing interaction era as the globalization. Throughout history, there has been mentioned a lot of
good and bad sides of an epoch having the maximum interaction among people. Such high degree of
communication is the source of rapid development that humanity has never before. But, on the other hand, it also
separates societies and causes the loss of cultural aspects that gives society property. Two people live in two
extremes of the World now eat the same things, wear the same things, laugh at the same things and cry for the
same things. In other words, the world has a growing uniformity. Football is one of the consumption habits which
cause this result. Therefore, in this article, we mentioned the relationship between cultural imperialism and
football. The question of what kind of role football takes as a result of cultural imperialism is the article's main
objective.
