In this episode, Edem and Jabu are joined by two-time Pulitzer Prize Nominee journalist and author of The Turbulent World of Middle East Soccer, James Dorsey.
In a wide-ranging interview, James examines how politics has shaped the history of sport in the Middle East, how the volatile geopolitical rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Qatar is playing out in football and what the Confederation of African Football's Memorandum of Understandings with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation mean for growing sports diplomacy between Africa and the Gulf.
