Integration in Dalarna and footballs effect on the integration process (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fotbollsutövande påverkar utlandsfödda individer i integrationsprocessen till det svenska samhället. I processen för datainsamling genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med utlandsfödda personer som vid tillfället var aktiva inom en fotbollsförening. Resultatet visar att respondenterna upplevde att fotbollen hjälpt dem med språkkunskaper och lärandet av normer och kulturer. Behovet av att skaffa vänner i det nya landet var genomgående för samtliga respondenter. Resultatet visar även att förebilder spelat en nyckelroll för deras väg in i det svenska samhället. En gemensam nämnare var att respondenterna upplevde att deras nätverk med samhällsviktiga kontakter utökats med hjälp av föreningslivet och fotbollen.

Abstract [en]

This study aims to examine how an active role in football affects immigrants in their integration process to Swedish society. The methods used in this study were semi-structured interviews, which were conducted on five foreign participants that were active at the time in a football club. The results show that the respondents experienced football as assistance in their development for the Swedish language and the interpretation of norms and culture of said society. The need for friendship in their new country was a recurring theme for all the respondents. The result also shows that role-models play a significant part for their way in and association to Swedish society. A common denominator was that the respondents experienced that their own social networks with socially important contacts had widened through the aid of football and its association.
