For a more progressive sports model
The day after the final of the UEFA European Championship 2021, Jean-Michel de Waele, Professor of Political Sciences at the ULB, joins François Balate, Head of Office of FEPS President, to analyse what is the relationship between sports, more specifically football, and politics. They reach the conclusion that a more progressive sports model is needed but they also comment on the results of the European Championship, the reactions of politicians in social media and how these kinds of tournaments could reinforce the European identity or could better reach some EU goals, such as the fight against climate change and minority rights.
