Swiss Institute for Children's and Youth Media SIKJM: Reading about soccer – book recommendations for children

Find the right book for hours of relaxed reading! Enthusiasm and passion, hard-fought battles on the pitch and the reward of victory, rivalry and deep friendships: soccer tells great stories. Girls and women are increasingly taking center stage, as are teams in which everyone fights together to score goals. Soccer is for everyone: this is reflected in the SIKJM's selection of recommended picture books, stories to read aloud or on your own, and nonfiction books to tie in with the Women's Euro 2025.
