The Soccer War is a book by Ryszard Kapuściński, the Polish press correspondent in Africa and Latin America in the 1960s. The eponymous soccer war erupts between Honduras and Salvador, partially as a result of a football match between teams of the two countries.

The book features a collection of stories from the life of the reporter and journalist as he travels into countries such as Congo, Kenya and Nigeria, then undergoing severe conflict.

Filming rights to the book have been purchased by Philippe'a Falardeau[1]
