DEBATE RECAP | Is the liberal world order in crisis?
The World Cup may have come to an end, but the conversation about football fandom is far from over. At our latest town hall in Toronto, Imran Garda moderated a lively debate that brought experts Shireen Ahmed, David Goldblatt and Kely Nascimento together with young debaters from Qatar Foundation’s Education City, Canada, Mexico and beyond to tackle the question: What happens to football fandom when big money gets involved?
Here’s what our young debaters, live audience and Doha Debates managing director Amjad Atallah had to say about the experience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and brought this conversation to life.
Presented in partnership with the Qatar, Canada and Mexico 2026 Year of Culture.
