The FIFA World Cup, Human Rights Goals and the Gulf Between Richard Peltz-Steele Abstract With Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 on the horizon, the process for selecting hosts for the World Cup of men’s football has been plagued by charges of corruption and human rights abuses. FIFA celebrated key developing economies with South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014. But amid the aftermath of the global financial crisis, those sitings surfaced grave and persistent criticism of the social and economic efficacy of sporting mega-events. Meanwhile new norms emerged in global governance, embodied in instruments such as the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the Sustainable Development Goals. These norms posit that commercial aims can be harmonized with socioeconomic good. FIFA seized on the chance to restore public confidence and recommit itself to human exultation in sport, adopting sustainability strategies and engaging the architect of the UNGP to develop a human rights policy.

Despite moving with the times, they are, however, no longer in the best position to sort out for themselves the many problems that confront them. Corruption, money laundering, match-fixing, misplaced government interven- tion, legal disputes of various sorts, and so on, can, indeed, only be dealt with effectively if authority is clearly defined and if the status and independence of football’s governing bodies is recognised by law and they are provided with the necessary means.

Cynthia Mumbo My name is Cynthia Mumbo. I am now 38, I just turned 38. I’ve been playing basketball since I was like maybe 14, back in high school. So, when we were younger, we used to watch ‘NBA Action’ on Sunday afternoons, as the TV was never on during the day. We’d really look forward to getting to watch basketball. When I did get to see this, it was so exciting. Everyone wanted to go and watch ‘NBA Action.’ It was the coolest thing and you’d walk around with children, everyone was wearing Orlando Magic or Lakers singlets. I just got hooked up. I went to high school and I got on the hockey pitch and I saw two major injuries, and I said, ‘This is not where I’m meant to be.’ So, I got off to try basketball. I ran away from hockey.
