The Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup has put the focus on a phenomenom called "sportswashing". Today we will talk about how sports are used by actors as a form of soft-power to create an image to the world. Is the World Cup an example of sportswashing? How does it fit into the historical context which has played out through the 20th Century?

Tune in to hear our discussion on sportswashing spanning a multitude of sports and different eras, how sport can play on people's emotions to create memories, and how how it's increasingly become an arena where geopolitical battles are fought for hearts and minds!

What are your thoughts on sportswashing? Should Qatar have been awarded the World Cup and what do you think of their hosting? Get in touch and let us know your thoughts and we would love to include some comments in a future episode. All our contact details are available at: https://linktr.ee/thegeopoliticalpickle
