Photography in football not only serves as visual documentation but also plays a role in shaping social identity, enhancing interactions, and influencing societal behavior. In amateur football, particularly in Boyolali Regency, photography has become an essential part of the playing experience, both as a means of self-expression and as a team branding strategy. This study aims to examine the urgency of photography in football from the perspectives of symbolic interaction theory, structural functionalism, and social construction. The research employs a quantitative approach with a survey technique. Data was collected through Google Form-based questionnaires and interviews, using a closed-ended questionnaire instrument with a Likert Scale. The findings indicate that amateur football players have a high interest in photography, with key influencing factors including attraction (75.72%), enjoyment (74.04%), attention (71.02%), and necessity (65.08%). Photography not only captures match moments but also enhances athletes' presence on social media, strengthens team identity, and builds personal image in the digital space. Furthermore, visual documentation in football reflects broader social dynamics, including competition among photographers and the economic impact of the sports photography industry. This study confirms that photography is a crucial element in the development of the amateur football community in the digital era. Beyond documentation, photography has become part of media consumption culture that influences social interactions, aspirations, and public engagement in sports. These findings provide new insights into the relationship between photography, sociology, and the growth of amateur football, as well as its impact on the social construction and culture of modern sports.
