Why Are There So Many Polyglots in Soccer?

Have you ever wondered how footballers communicate with each other or why there are so many polyglots in soccer? If you’re anything like me, then you’ve surely seen interviews with footballers speaking foreign languages and noticed that the sport has a high concentration of polyglots. So for today's video, I wanted to explore the role of languages in soccer, how soccer players learn languages, and polyglot footballers. Plus, we'll talk about some of the most famous soccer players who you may not have known were polyglots--including Zlatan Ibrahimović and Romelu Lukaku.
