In this episode, we invited Mas Irfan Ardhani, MIR — a Lecturer at Department of International Relations UGM — over for an interesting conversation about what lies beyond the "entertainment" side of football. As it turns out, football can often be utilised as a means to achieve unprecedented level of unity within heterogeneous or intra-conflicting countries — and an impetus for nation-building as is the case with Latin America countries. Not only that, we also talk about how "icons" or "superstars" are born out of the pitch and the influence they have on shaping perceptions among the general masses. Have a comfortable seat and tune in to our lovely chats! #FPCIUGMBringingPerspectivesFromGrassrootsLevel
