Franquismo, diplomacia y fútbol: la gira del Real Madrid en Sudáfrica.
- Authors
Antonio Simón, Juan
- Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to analyze the role played by the Spanish diplomatic services during Real Madrid’s tour of South Africa in September of 1964. It undertakes two specific objectives. First, it explores the impact that the club’s visit had on this country. Second, it studies the role of this sporting entity within Franco’s foreign policy. Through the documentation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs conserved in the General Administration Archive, we demonstrate just how closely the Ministry monitored this international tour.
