Narcoball. Futbol, kartele i śmierć w Kolumbii Pablo Escobara Book / David Arrowsmith

Product description

Book in Polish language edition.

Pablo Escobar, aside from his obsession with power and wealth, also had a weakness for football. His passion for the game began in childhood. When he became one of the most powerful drug lords, he turned that passion into action: funding pitches for poor communities and financially supporting Atlético Nacional, which helped the club win the prestigious Copa Libertadores. But football in Escobar’s hands also had a darker side - buying results, intimidating referees, and even ordering their murders when they refused to cooperate.

Step into a world where the triumphs of Colombian football are entwined with the dark underworld of drug cartels. Discover the dramatic story of Andrés Escobar, the player who paid the ultimate price after scoring an own goal at the World Cup.

This is more than just a book about football. It is a story of power, passion, and a world where sport became both a battlefield and a weapon of crime.
