Event Description
As North America prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, crisis off the field continues to shape its headlines.
History offers many examples of global issues colliding with the championship: Since the 1934 World Cup held in fascist Italy, discussions of the tournament’s geopolitical significance, human rights implications and environmental harm persist. What can the world’s favorite game tell us about today’s issues?
On Tuesday, March 24 at 4 p.m. ET, Villanova University’s Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest invites you to a webinar on the 2026 World Cup in historical, political and cultural context.
