Glory is a quarterly football magazine that shines a light on clubs and associations rarely making the sports headlines.
What grabbed us about this issue…
This issue follows San Marino, traditionally ranked last in FIFA's world rankings, after a historic 2024-25 season in which they beat Liechtenstein twice. Think of it less as a conventional football read and more as a travel guide with a football-driven lens, with practical advice for planning a trip to this landlocked nation. We particularly enjoyed a personal account from theGloryteam's visit, full of quick facts and local recommendations. If you're into classic football, there's also a feature on Massimo Bonini reflecting on his years at Juventus that's worth a look. Flip to the back page and you'll find a link to The Ballad of San Marino, a good way to soundtrack your read.
Who’s Glory for?
Born out of frustration with mainstream English football,Glory is one for when you want to explore the game in its simplest forms without the glitz of the leading leagues. It's not the easiest entry point if you're new to football culture beyond the Premier League, with a focus on niche clubs and institutions in some unlikely destinations. This would suit you if you're drawn to the community side of the sport and enjoy reading about the places football quietly shapes.
