127. Lleida CF

To create something bigger than football from the ashes of your club which has twice been driven to bankruptcy shows a desire that many football clubs dream of.

We're joined by Jordan Thomas from La Liga and Beyond and Juanjo Lecumberri, club vice-president, to talk about the recent revival of Lleida CF, who are starting life for a third time in the tenth tier of football in Spain.

The difference between the former club and the latest iteration of Lleida CF is that the power of controlling and representing the club now belongs to the supporters.

124. Who Owns Football?: A History of Football Regulation, Governance and Finance

We're joined by Mark O'Neill to talk about the history and heritage of football ownership, regulation and governance.

How football is regulated has never been more prominent in the game as it has been in the modern day.

Sadly, the supporters of the past faced many of the same crises and questions faced by football today.

122. No ICE In The Cup

We're joined by Julia Roig, co-founder of the Horizons Project, to discuss the role of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the 2026 World Cup and how their involvement is in direct contradiction to the culture of football.

Julia and her colleagues launched No ICE In The Cup earlier in 2026. This campaign aims to challenge the presence of ICE in World Cup spaces and build a stronger political culture in the United States centred around human rights, trade unionism and social justice.

121. The World Cup and Resistance

We're joined by author and journalist Simon Kuper to cover the wide-ranging subject of resistance at the World Cup.

The World Cup is many things. In the same way that the tournament is often used by regimes and governments for legitimisation and to sportswash, the World Cup also has a strong heritage of protest and resistance.

There is no greater platform to spread your message and promote your cause, and at World Cup 2026, protest has played a central role.

119. Latinx Activism at USA 1994We're joined by Professor Celso Thomas Castilho to talk about Latin American activism during the 1994 World Cup in the United States, a response to a series of aggressive police crackdowns in Latinx communities who were celebrating victories for their respective national teams.

With Celso's latest NACLA article in mind, we compare this activism with responses to World Cup 2026 and our thoughts on how resistance may play out at this tournament.
