Through studying geography, we gain knowledge and understanding of a wide range of topics. We also acquire important skills and capabilities — one of which is the ability to create links between ideas and concepts drawn from different curriculum topics. This article explores connections between Global Systems and Changing Places. Our focus is the ways in which global systems have impacted on local football sports leagues in the UK over time, and vice-versa. See Figure 1.
