Simon Kuper: World Cup Fever

This August, doubtless hot on the heels of Scotland’s victorious 2026 campaign (!), sports journalist Simon Kuper joins us with World Cup Fever.

An attendee of every World Cup since 1990, Kuper chronicles the fervour of this global sporting fiesta, one which brings nations to a standstill and sends fans on incredible journeys just to be there.

Tears, joy, controversy, inspiration, politics – this is the story of football, its magic and tumultuous history combined.

Chaired by Stuart Cosgrove.The livestream for this event will also be available on demand after the event ends.
