Football fandom: Community or commodity?

Doha Debates is committed to amplifying the voices of emerging leaders from around the world. The Reflections blog series, published monthly on our website, features Doha Debates community members, including ambassadors, young debaters and guest experts, sharing their unique perspectives on debate, critical thinking and the power of cross-cultural connection. 

In 2025, Doha Debates hosted a town hall in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the future of our cities. University students and recent graduates from Qatar, Chile and Argentina came together to engage with global thinkers on the urgent challenges facing urban life. But their experience began long before stepping on stage.
