Following his unconventional artistic takeover of AS Roma’s stadium last November...

England’s new football shirt is causing quite the stir – and not because of the extortionate price tag. The controversy has led to the creation of a "Save St. George's Cross in English football" petition on Change.org (which at the time of writing has 46 391 signatures) and even prompted bi-partisan unity (gasp!), as the Conversative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Kier Starmer have both shared their displeasure at the new stylistic change. So, what’s behind the hubbub exactly? For the rollout in the run-up to the UEFA Euro in Germany (14 June – 14 July), Nike dared to change the ...

In 2024, women’s football is one of the world’s fastest growing sports. However, this hasn't always been the case as, after World War II, women were banned or marginalised for playing the beautiful game - which is one of the many reasons that not much is known about the Women’s World Cup in Mexico in 1971. "Copa 71”, a new documentary, aims to close this gap in awareness. Through a compelling blend of rich archival footage and interviews with key figures and players from the tournament, the film explores the remarkable history of the event. Notably, the final match between Mexico and Denmark g...
