SPIEGEL Backstage: »Political drama instead of a football festival? How SPIEGEL reporters experience the World Cup in Qatar«
On Tuesday, November 29th - already at 12:30 noon via Zoom! Sign up here.
Exclusively for subscribers!
If you want to send us your questions in advance, you can do so here.
Danial Montazeri and Peter Ahrens are two of five reporters who report from Qatar for DER SPIEGEL: about the games of the World Cup, but also about the human rights situation in the country, about the behavior of the athletes, the DFB and Fifa.
At this digital live event, as a subscriber, you can ask the two journalists your own questions as part of a zoom conference!
How do you experience the atmosphere in Qatar?
What is the situation for athletes and journalists on site?
And how do the two SPIEGEL editors perceive professional football in general today?
In the run-up to the World Cup, Danial Montazeri researched the podcast »Sold Out – Qatar, Football and Big Money« with former professional soccer player and human rights activist Tuğba Tekkal.
It traces Qatar's path to becoming a global football powerhouse and discusses what the ever-increasing sums of money that football is now about are doing.
Peter Ahrens has been part of our editorial team's sports department since December 2009 and has therefore kept a close eye on the development of professional football for years.
At SPIEGEL Backstage, we want you as a subscriber to talk to our editors.
We look forward to seeing you in the next issue!
