I am Liam Borchers, a Wikipedian from Groningen specialized in linguistics and Spanish football. I live in Groningen, capital of the province of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands, and I have also lived in the Vila de Gràcia, Catalonia, during a semester in 2023. In my free time, I like to write books in English about Spanish football, particularly focusing on individual football clubs to be able to learn more about the history, culture, and identity of the club and its surrounding society.
I haven't been around for a long time; my first edits are from 2023. Usually, I update pages related to the football clubs CE Europa and CD Atlético Baleares in Catalan, English, and Dutch.
Whether it has been through studying at the University of Groningen or through self-study at home, I have developed advanced knowledge in the following topics:
- Linguistics
- Romance languages
- History of Spanish football
- Contemporary Spanish football
- CD Atlético Baleares
- CE Europa
