Football and Roma

Two articles in the Serbian press about Roma footballers. The articles highlight the significant contributions of Roma players in the history of the FIFA World Cup, mentioning legends like Hristo Stoichkov, Gheorghe Hagi, and Ricardo Quaresma.

They emphasise the achievements of these players, including Stoichkov’s pivotal role in Bulgaria’s fourth-place finish in 1994 and Quaresma’s pride in his Romani heritage.

The piece calls attention to the ongoing underrepresentation of Romani players in contemporary football, despite their historical impact on the sport.
