(A)WAY is a new publication dedicated to the ‘very important business of going somewhere else to watch football,’ founded by several members of the equally brilliant Mundial footy magazine.
This sophomore issue lands in Lisbon, leading with an account from editor James Bird recalling Portuguese home side Benfica’s epic win against Swiss team St. Gallen during this year’s Europa League qualifier. Bird delves into Lisbon’s rich tapestry of football history, meandering between bars, eateries, and vintage shops with co-founder Charlie Hood, and ruminating on football’s love affair with Portugal. Elsewhere, former Celtic player Jim Craig returns to the Estádio Nacional, remembering the unforgettable moment the Scottish team won the European Cup and were crowned ‘The Lisbon Lions’ in 1967.
Plus, find an interview with stand-up comedian and England Para Lions futsal player Josh Pugh, experience 24 hours in Mexico City filming ‘The World’s Cup’ documentary with director Eli Mengem, and Mark Hislop—founder of Old Street football boozer The Volley—returns with a pint guide to Lisbon, Mexico City, and Rennes.
