This time we are dealing with an unusual topic: the relationship between football and geopolitics. Although it may not seem so at first, it is much bigger than what is known. Still to be clarified is the great scandal known as “Qatargate”, about the irregularities committed by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) in the awarding, in 2010, of Qatar’s candidacy for the organization of the 2022 World Cup, which involved bribes to obtain votes and the intermediation of personalities such as the former French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, Michel Platini, then president of UEFA, and Sebastian Bazin, owner of the Paris Saint Germain (PSG) football team. Platini, who had already been accused, along with former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, of having defrauded FIFA of two million Swiss francs, charges of which they were acquitted in November 2022. It was not the first time that Blatter had been embroiled in accusations of corruption during his 17 years in office. In Spain, there are still many questions to be clarified regarding the “Rubiales case”, which supposedly has implications beyond what has been known so far, including political ramifications. First of all, it may involve people like the player Gerard Piqué. Not to mention the murky ins and outs of Spanish refereeing related to the “Negreira case”. On the other hand, the big clubs carry out their own geopolitics, competing with each other to expand their popularity and influence in countries and regions of the world, creating teams, helping promising youngsters or simply selling shirts. José Miguel Villarroya, a sports historian and journalist, tells us about all these intricacies of national and international football, true mysteries that very few know in detail. In addition, José Miguel reviews current global geopolitical events, from Ukraine to Gaza, among other hot topics.
