Show notes

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Amy Lawrence, Raphael Honigstein and Ed Malyon to look at the future of the mother of all football tournaments - the FIFA World Cup. Will Qatar hosting in winter and the expansion to 48 teams in 2026 ruin the World Cup as we know and love it? With yet more allegations of corruption surfacing can we really take the tournament seriously anymore? Or will the World Cup continue to unite people and nations despite the controversy and critics? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
