More than a game: Sports, Society and Politics
In this edition of the Panorama, we explore the relationship between sports and politics and the impact it has on societies globally.

Sports and sporting events serve a wide variety of political purposes, ranging from a supposed symbol for peace to a staging ground for rivalries at the local, regional, national and international levels.
