Summary
Or will it arrive pre-ruined by FIFA’s oligarch-coddling sycophant president Gianni Infantino, creator of Trump’s ludicrous “FIFA Peace Prize”? The 2026 World Cup has already been called a “bonanza of sportwashing” by human rights groups. Now visiting fans fear harassment by ICE as well as the eye-watering cost of attending games at all. Politics professor, author of Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing and the FIFA Greed Machine and former footballer Jules Boykoff joins Andrew Harrison to look at the corrupt mess of international football… and what needs to happen to fix it. • Buy Red Card through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
