Sport’s Strangest Crimes: Foul Play at the World Cup?
About this Event
Two of investigative journalism's most dogged reporters. Two podcasts. One disturbing question of the last 60 years: has the CIA been shaping who gets to play in the World Cup?
Gabriel Gatehouse and James Montague have spent years pulling at threads that many journalists walk past — from Cold War paranoia to modern geopolitical power plays. Their investigations have taken them deep into the murky intersection of football, intelligence agencies and American foreign policy across multiple eras.
Their podcasts you've heard told part of the story. This session tells the rest.
In front of a live audience, Gatehouse and Montague reveal the theories, sources and details that never made the final edit.
Tickets for the BBC Fringe are completely free. You can reserve seats for individual shows. Do note that entry on the day will be first-come, first-served, even with a ticket, so we recommend arriving early to secure your place.
As tickets are free, people often request more than they need, so we have to issue more tickets than there are seats available to allow for this. Entry into the show is on a first come, first served basis, and is not guaranteed.
