The 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially kicked off in the US. ⚽️🇺🇸

This year marks the first time the competition is being held across multiple countries, with games also taking place in Mexico 🇲🇽 and Canada 🇨🇦

But, how political really is the ‘non-political” game?

Stadium workers in the USA are threatening to strike over Trump's migration policy, while in Uzbekistan, sport has become a state prestige project, and in Bosnia, a fifteen-year-old song has become the unofficial anthem of the World Cup.

Decades of deliberate economic decisions have led to these spectacular inequalities, and Sweden is far from being the only country with these disparities in wealth. 💸

Today, the USA is a deeply divided country. 🇺🇸

It's evident in Piedmont, a region that, though just two and a half hours' drive from Washington D.C, feels like a world away.

Whilst in the Democrat-leaning capital, Trump’s second term in office is viewed with consternation and fear, local people living in Appalachian Piedmont are hopeful for economic renewal with the re-elected president.

Our new documentary 'Trump's America: The Great Divide', follows the highs and lows of politics in everyday life in a divided country.

📺 The Asian Underground Beyond K-pop 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7H0G...

These Asian genres were virtually non-existent in European clubs, but they have found their place in nights organised by Eastern Margins. The London collective brings together Asian diasporas around these alternative scenes.
