Here's a topic where we can post on the Jewish influence in World football.
To summarize, Jews started to get more interested in Football after WWII when it became increasingly clear that a) there was serious money to be made in this sport... and... b) it was an excellent propaganda tool for globalization and multiculturalism.
Although I personally do not think they are the only reason things turned out so badly with our favorite sport (there are plenty of naive/uninformed or simply corrupt gentiles, just look at the FIFA or UEFA bosses), one cannot underestimate their influence in transforming the sport from a predominantly White, European (later South American), working class sport, strongly identitarian and radicated in local communities (as it was until the early 1980s) into the globalist/multiculturalist money grabbing nightmare it has become today.
As it often happens in sports, relevant Jewish players who actually play (or played) on the pitch are few and far between. When they do happen - as was the case with David Beckham and his alleged (and dubious) Jewish roots - the media cannot get enough of them. But Jews in football (as in other areas) are mostly "intermediaries" and "gatekeepers", a role they specialize in. Club owners, top officials of the various federations or "anti racism" organizations, "agents", authors, media types etc. In brief - trend-setters which (in large part) are steering this sport (and society at large) in the direction where it is going today.
Everybody knows about the clubs with (real or immagined) Jewish ties like Ajax Amsterdam, Tottenham or Austria Vienna, but we need more hard data and case studies, names, dates, numbers to quantify this phenomenon.
Here's a random assortment of names in (more or less) cronological order. This is an incomplete, informal list, which (I am sure) is destined to grow over time.
Early interest:
Bela Guttman - Football coach in the 50-60s, practically invented the character of the "big money coach" which today is omnipresent (Murinho, Guardiola etc.). Greatest success - leading Benfica to 2 European Champion titles (how CL was called then) in 1961 and 1962. When in Benfica, introduced the first Black superstar player in Europe - Eusebio.
Henry Kissinger - ex chairman of the NA soccer league and big promoter of European football in the US. I think he saw globalizing" potential in the game.
Steve Ross - Media type and CEO of the Time Warner company. Creator of the (now defunct) New York Cosmoss
Alan Rothenberg - Early (1990s) president of the professional soccer league, U.S. Soccer.
Robert Maxwell - Media type and criminal - in the 1980s owner of the Oxford United and Derby County, attempted (unsuccessfully) to buy Manchester United and Tottenham

Political monitoring of fans:
The secretive Fare ("Football against racism Europe") network (http://www.farenet.org/) which is policing fans across Europe seems to have significant Jewish involvement and funding, although these types of "non governmaental"/"human rights" organizations are totally non-transparent and their background and funding difficult to pinpoint. For example: http://www.farenet.org/resources/FARE_5th_anniversary(1).pdf
"In October 2003 the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) presented FARE with the first Jean Kahn Award for exemplary work to combat racism. The Award comes with 10.000 €, sponsored by the Evens Foundation.
