For the first time World Cup history, the tournament is hosted in the Middle East. Football has always been more than just a game in the Middle East. Seen sometimes as a symbol of decolonisation and regime legitimisation, it also plays a role in fostering national identities. In the region, the beautiful game is intertwined with culture, politics and history. As the World Cup in Qatar is now underway, we explore the culture in history of football in the region.

In this episode:

Abdullah Al-Arian (@anhistorian), author and associate professor at Georgetown University in Qatar.
