This event will explore the intersection of football, politics, and global power dynamics in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, drawing on insights from the book Beyond the Stadium, by Professor Andrew Bertoli, Assistant Professor at IE SPEGA. The discussion will examine how major sporting events shape international relations, urban development, governance, and public discourse.
The session will count with the participation of Miguel Ángel Paniagua, sports radio journalist at COPE. The welcome remarks will be given by Borja Santos, Associate Dean of IE SPEGA.
The discussion will take place on Monday, 15th June, from 13:00 to 14:00, followed by light refreshments, at IE Tower, Room 32.03.
