Activity

Key Insights

No major international events at the level of the Olympics or the World Cup scheduled for 2023, the sporting world has a chance to improve on its dismal 2022 record. Yet the worst of these infractions glorifying repressive regimes, abusing the rights of fans, athletes, and workers alike, did not result in any high-profile firings or apologies.
Qatar successfully used the World Cup to advance its political goals, markedly advancing its soft power and epitomizing how the small state has become an influential player in global affairs. U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken also arrived in Doha to watch his countrys opening game against Wales.
A third Grand Slam, Wimbledon, banned ethnic Russian and Belarusian players from participating in an apparent show of solidarity with Ukraine. Two of the current top ten mens players, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev, were banned from participating. The decision seemed particularly cruel to Rublev who had openly protested Russias invasion of Ukraine. Wimbledon was also host to an abuse unrelated to the Ukraine war committed by security officials.
