The festive season is a busy time of year for football fans, while December 25 is quiet - but football is still played in some countries
For many fans, festive football is as much a part of their Christmas tradition as exchanging gifts and having a Christmas tree.
While some leagues such as the Bundesliga break over the winter, in England, the festive period is packed with fixtures – never more so than on Boxing Day, December 26.
Football on Christmas Day used to be a staple of the season, starting – as with many Christmas traditions – during the Victorian Era.
